Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
funny little FPS that has a lot going for it, nice graphics, cool guns, and wildly enough pretty decent customization (unfortuantely there are paid cosmetics but this is a F2P game so i'll let it slide).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The weapons feel balanced enough that going into FFA Fiesta (random weapons) doesn't feel like you're being picked on and newer players aren't penalized for lack of experience.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In conclusion, if you're a fan of fast paced multiplayer fps games, then I would highly recommend you to play this game, good luck on the arena, toaster :3
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Before I hammer my points I'll address what I like: The general idea is quite fun, the movement system can be refined but is already interesting to expirement with, the settings allow you to nuke the graphics and let them run on even low-end hardware.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
My recommendation is if you're new to this game, for start try to play it with friends who mach your skill level and play with them until you get used to the movement mechanics (which is by far the coolest feature in the game, and you will enjoy it)
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are a LOT of accessories to get, currency is FREE (there are a few in-game purchases and the patreon which i despise, but it isn't intrusive), the gun selection is interesting (though could use a lot of work and a little lever action rifle (; ), there is in-depth character customization, and movement is pretty fun.
