Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
Its presentation is basic by modern standards, but the underlying combat has enough interesting ideas to distinguish it from a completely conventional shooter.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
Runs smoothly on high graphics with almost any computer (look at system requirements if you don't belive me)
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
17 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
Playing with friends or organizing matches manually can therefore be a much more dependable way to experience the game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
13 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
This gives the otherwise simple shooting mechanics an additional strategic layer and rewards knowledge of the arsenal.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
6 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
The game looks pretty good at ultra settings (i only played at ultra) with fps fluctuating between 100-600 on a gtx 1070. the game has next to no players and the guns are very unbalanced. the vvvvvvv gun is super OP. bought the game on sale for 0.49 cents and would not recommend.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
4 of 193 sampled reviews raised it
Simple controls make entry easy, yet learning weapon combinations and improving movement and accuracy provide a reasonable skill ceiling.
