✦ AI summary

Players are divided on this score-chasing shooter. Supporters praise its solid concept, decent graphics, controller support, and lightweight performance, along with appreciation for the developer's efforts and the engaging tactical gameplay with varied weapons and AI. However, detractors highlight persistent technical issues including control keybind problems that don't save between sessions, poor movement and jumping mechanics, performance optimization concerns, and low-quality animations, which undermine the otherwise promising core gameplay loop.

I gave the game 2 hours, here's my take on it. Thumping (if slightly repeptive) music. It fits. Graphics are decent, in-line with Unreal Engine 4 games I've played in the past. The Concept of the game is great; a score-chaser timed shooter sounded like a great idea. And it is a great idea. And at least it is controller-compatible. And it's a lightweight game, you don't need a high-end machine for it. But... this game fails miserably in pretty much every aspect that would retain players. * Control keybinds DO NOT save from the title screen or tutorial into the main game forcing you to rebind them. Wouldn't be so bad if they were in arbitrary places to begin with. You end up dying sometimes just trying to fix keybinds. * The actual movement is okay, until you jump. And the walk vs sprint speed is hardly noticeable. You are slow. * Tutorial is way too dark and doesn't really offer much. It is serviceable only barely. * The flow of the game is pretty horribly slow too, and you get overwhelmed VERY fast. In the 30-minute timer, after 2 or 3 deaths it becomes almost unbeatable. * The initial interface to buy weapons also makes little sense and it seems you are stuck with your choices o…

What an absolutely amazing underrated game! You've got to give it a try, better than some triple AAA games I've seen.

This is a thrilling tactical shooter with large open maps. As you fight your way through the hordes of different alien soldiers; you also need to plan your route through interesting terrain from rocky peaks to forests and hackable teleporters. The terrain and graphics are beautiful with flexible quality settings for older pcs like mine. The gunplay is great with a variety of weapons and scoping options; made all the more thrilling at the constant danger of being outflanked. The A.I. are relentless hunting you down and pathfinding through navigating difficult terrain. A great and under-rated game has become all the more polished since the February update. Adding new maps, gamemodes, better optimization and a shop. They've also recently added matchmaking and online multiplayer. Well worth the time and modest price point.

A Nice Shooter! This game was created by a single developer and I think they did a great job. There are some small bugs, nothing really game breaking. I did have a very hard time trying to find the Detonator, never found it. 30 Minute games give you plenty of time to find and finish your objectives.
