What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's fun gameplay, cool mech-based mechanics similar to TF2, and extensive customization options, with some expressing nostalgia for it. However, the primary complaint is that the game is effectively dead with a dwindling player base and significant cheater problems, leading many to hope for a revival despite their affection for the concept.

Super cool game with tons of customization and a lot of fun to be had. If this game ever gets revived, I’d 10/10 recommend giving it a shot.**
