What players say

93% of 9,851 reviews are positive · 92% of 13 in the last 30 days

Players praise the weapon-growing mechanic and playing with friends. The most common complaint is a small online player base that leaves lobbies sparse or filled with bots; some players also find matches repetitive or the weapons unsatisfying.
