    Exato Game Studios are so brazen about Guncraft’s influences that you could initially be forgiven for thinking that it is yet another Minecraft clone, trying to ride on the coattails of Mojang’s success while bringing very little to the table itself. However, I was happy to discover that Guncraft is much more than that, and it deserves to have far more people playing it than it currently has.

    The things that Exato has done to make Guncraft different from its predecessors have made it a better game. Instead of a clone, they've stepped up and made an engaging game that lets you get your block-building and headshot fix at the same time.

    Guncraft doesn't get high marks for originality--it's a pretty obvious mash-up and one that has been done before, albeit not as successfully--but the developers do layer lots of cool ideas onto the core ingredients they borrow from other popular games.

    Guncraft is addictive and ambitious. Exato has achieved a real feat in utilising Minecraft’s template in such innovative ways. The potential for creativity and its pure gameplay should make Guncraft a hub of imagination once it becomes more populated and utilised.

    Guncraft is a showcase of the future of first person shooters. Unfortunately all the freedom is heavily inhibited by uninspired choices and unoriginal visuals.

    While I had fun running and gunning through diverse and destructible levels in Guncraft, the poorly implemented building component fails to make it stand out from the pack.

    Guncraft is absolutely one of the WORST games I have purchased in a long time. This game has so much wrong with it I found it difficult not to give this game a straight 0. I will share my exact experience with you all, and hopefully deter you from buying this flaming pile of crap disguised as game.

    From the second you start the game you will be met with some nauseating menu system.
    Shortly after you are bound to attempt to navigate the terrible menus towards the video setting.
    Finally, you made it to the video settings…..I think? There are NO video settings, no resolution, no vsync, no quality settings, NOTHING.

    You were just let down by the video settings but you have high hopes for the game after looking at all the touched up screenshots that you will soon find out are all lies.

    You connect to your first game, you will notice almost immediately that you have no idea what anything does for any of the prebuilt “classes” as there is no description for any of their perks and bonuses. You would have to mess around in the character builder for 10 minutes to find out just what their prebuilt classes do.

    Ok you don’t care exactly what everything does, you just want to play! You hop in your first game and immediately notice that the graphics are NO WHERE near what was shown in the screenshots, but you don’t care much about graphics so its all ok.

    You see your first enemy run….I mean LAG by. That’s right, as if all this was not enough they have lag issues, trust me it’s not your computer, it’s not your internet…Its their poorly built game. I will spare you my entire pc specs and just tell you I have an i7 and 2 GTX 680’s…this game SHOULD NOT have frame issues.

    You have been playing for about 10 minutes now, you undoubtedly noticed that this game has SEVERE balance issues. Not only are the guns unbalanced but the killstreaks are as well. Ohh wait, did I forget to mention the game has killstreaks? Ya…it does.

    So you are sick to your stomach now, realizing you wasted $15 on the game, you are just about to quit out when the game crashes on you. YUP CRASHES! This game has that problem too!(5 out of 6 of my friends crashed in the first 15 minutes)

    Well you had a bad experience with the game, so you go to the forums to discuss your issues with it.
    30 minutes later your thread is locked/deleted and you have been banned from their forum. YUP! The devs are censoring any negative comments about their game….can you guess why? Because most people are going to say this game SUCKS.

    Ohh and to top it all off….this game has been created before. Ever hear of Ace of Spades? Go look it up..are you still in the mood for a cube style shooter? Well Ace of Spades does it quite literally a HUNDRED TIMES BETTER than this piece of crap.

    Recap!

    THE BAD
    -Nauseating Menus
    -No Graphic Settings
    -No Resolution Settings(stuck with black bars on top and bottom of screen)
    -Crashes
    -INSANE BALANCE ISSUES
    -Graphics SUCK and still manage to produce fps lag
    -Network Lag
    -Devs censor all bad reviews
    -Complete and utter KNOCK OFF of games that do this better

    THE GOOD
    -The build mode is…cool…until a structure that took you 10 mins to build is destroyed in 10 seconds by an explosion.

    DO. NOT. BUY. THIS. GAME.    … Full Review »

    Riddled with technical problems, play unbalances and constant crashing, Guncraft brings nothing new to an industry already being flooded withRiddled with technical problems, play unbalances and constant crashing, Guncraft brings nothing new to an industry already being flooded with "cube" style games. A tiring game with a development team that brushes off player complaints with simply, "LOL seems fine to me" is highly unprofessional.

    The game is awful, offers nothing new or ground breaking and is generally lazy. I suggest players find better ways to spend $15.00 then this garbage.    … Full Review »
