Short review: The game is ♥♥♥♥ Long review: You start with a team that gets crushed by every other team... completly... for several months. There is barely any progression (even with the best trainer that is way to expensive) and you end up just swapping out every player. Even if your team is decent at one point... they do utterly dumb moves. 3v2 situation and all 3 of them go in one by one for example. The game has several bugs... half of the text is still russian. I am fairly sure that AI got thrown at the game most of the time, because it there is barely anything that actually makes sense and nothing feels balanced at all. Like seriously... you start with a team... that gets crushed completly... by literally every other team. Do yourself a favour and don't buy it.3 found this helpful
ive been wanting a cs manager game BAD, but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ its terrible. a TON of stuff seems like no one ever took a second to think about it. the ratings are stupid as hell youll have a retired (irl not in the game) guy who only played in t4-5 have more potential than actual good current cs prospects. the ratings are terrible, youll have your major winning teams best player be a 1.00 rating and the rest of the team in the 0.90-0.80. Honestly theres a ♥♥♥♥ ton of stuff that just feels really incomplete and im too lazy too list them all but i dont recommend the game. Theres other cs managers coming out soon that seem straight up better. if you buy it youll only be disappointed.2 found this helpful

Not bad
Good game made my friends and cousins to see how they would do they suck! the tactics aren't really doing the what they are supposed to do like for example "fast mid" and only two go and the rest hide by B or when one terrorist is on the site and its free they don't let the others guys know they let time run down to like 30 seconds and then execute the site that was not free. My discord has been enjoying how we will do in competitions. Good game for a start hope they don't let it go to waste.
only big problem i have noticed so far is all teams start with no facility. insane that teams like vitality and falcons have no facility to begin with
