igonring this, i had a great time playing Empulse, the maps look good and balanced, like i said the graphicas and optimization is good, leveling of weapons is a bit of a grind but it doesn't take too long, the abilities(granades) all feel pretty good to use, piloting a mech feels a bit clunky, but i mean you are piloting a mech, it should feel a bit like that.
Combat

The movement is fast, the gunplay feels great, and when a match flows it's some of the best fun I've had in a shooter in a while.
Monetization

BIG PROPS to the team for not including microtransactions anywhere in-game, which gives a massive positive mark towards me recommending the game, personally.

I like the clean and well polished Graphics, with my Settings on max i can still get around 90-120fps with a GTX 1660.
Difficulty

It's a really fair game imo, but the skill ceiling is quite high.
