What Steam players say

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

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's art and addictive mechanics, but most criticize significant balance issues, including unfair hitbox detection where enemy weapons reach further than player weapons, excessive stamina for enemies, and poorly designed enemy variety that overwhelms players with ranged units in unfair ratios. Technical problems including bugs that can permanently affect stamina, unreliable attack connection, and weapon variety concerns further frustrate players who feel the game relies more on luck than skill.

Nice art and game mechanics. It can be a bit difficult, and gaining resources takes a lot of time. Overall is an addictive game >.<

Can't recommend because a taco bell deluxe box woulda been a better buy. Repetitive and unbalanced, poorly executed hitboxes and weapon reach. No reason for an enemy with a dagger should hit me and not get hit by my spear, or for enemies to have no stamina so you will be roll attack spammed. Not much skill variety or choice of weapons so no real feeling of progression. Got it thinkin there was more to it but nothing exciting.

Would've given a positive review but adding so many ranged units was a very bad decision. No one plays a gladiator game to dodge 3 slings and 2 nets in a 1 vs 10.
Not recommended Mar 18, 2025
Por favor no compren este juego, esta muy mal echo, si ganas es por suerte, porque tu ataque conecto, porque el 90 % de las veces no conectan y hay muchas situaciones injustas donde no vas a poder hacer nada, solo morir y tener suerte que no se repita

I enjoy this game, but by all hell it's a buggy mess, especially in the pits. For example if your not careful with how much stamina you have before you start the next pit match you could permanently lose one or all your stamina charges.
