What Steam players say

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

✦ AI summary

MetaStrike is a free-to-play mobile FPS on Steam that players overwhelmingly warn against due to its nature as an NFT/blockchain scheme requiring personal details and wallet creation for in-game trading, combined with severe technical problems including failure to launch, extreme lag, audio glitches, and non-functional matchmaking. The game appears largely abandoned with virtually no active player base, minimal content, and sparse updates, making it not worth downloading at all.

[quote]Warning: NFT/Blockchain Scamware[/quote] MetaStrike is one of thousands of nasty mobile app tier cash harvesters infesting the "free" section of Steam, adverised misleadingly as if it's free, but it's not really. There's only a superficial "game" here. This looks like an actual FPS, but it's just a lazy mobile app tier frontend for a cryptobro NFT/blockchain scam.

Of course the humble developers take a big juicy cut of every NFT crypto blockchain transaction you make here. It's a scam.

Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading.

The game looks abandoned - there are almost no online players, matchmaking is dead. There is little content, almost no updates, and the mechanics are raw.
