    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.    … Expand

    The lack of video settings doesn't bother me because my PC is quite good, but aside from that, the game is unbalanced, filled with bugs and the uninformative UI is a major turn off. If you're looking for a game better than this for free, check out the Ace of Spades BETA (not steam version) for free.

    Riddled 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.

    Very disapointed in this game. Had high expectations and after 2 hours of trying to find something to hold on to the gameplay just got so boring. The game is almost like a ripoff AceOfSpades accept way worse.

    Buyer beware this game will make you sorry you bought it. The combat is not even fun and neither is the gun making...I would avoid this Game or wait until the game goes on sale for    Very disapointed in this game.

    Warning: DO NOT BUY THIS!
    This game has problems like no other: No options (Stuck with black bar and crappy resolution), balance issues, and it doesn't explain itself at all. As if that wasn't enough, there are FPS as well as server lag issues and the game crashes constantly (not my PC's fault, read some other reviews). Avoid this game at all costs.

    I will never buy this game. Nothing they do will make me change my mind. The developers are complete even thought they hide behind the ban user and lock threads buttons. Nekrage, You can see he gave the game a score of 0, Has been banned and his thread locked. For what? Saying in a completely professional way how the game was bad.

Saying in a completely professional way how the game was bad. He did not say "OH THIS GAME IS A PIECE OF S*** DON'T BUY ME". He said this
    "This game....is just so bad on so many levels.

    Health indicator is pretty unclear and tbh irrelevant with the rate that kills occur in this game.
    NO video options.
    NO resolution settings.
    SO many balance issues.
    The menus look HORRENDOUS.
    CRASHES.
    The combat is terrible.
    The vehicle control is nearly impossible.
    Half the kill streaks are near useless...go try out the bunker bust(lol).

    The best thing about this game is the BUILD MODE. You build structures using a prebuilt method.....then they get destroyed in a single shot.

    This game is so bad I will not take the time to write a full review. Will check back in a month or so to see if there has been any changes."
    The developers banned him from their Steam discussions tab and locked his thread. One of them had the balls to say Guys, seriously, I'm not trying to censor you. Please, feel free to criticize the game. Just do it like a calm and rationale person and you will NOT be banned" Nekrage only emphasized what was bad about the game "HORRENDUS", "NO", and "SO". That thread is locked now because he spoke the truth about this game. At a price of $15 USD this game should not be released in such a bad stage of development. You have seen how the developers handle the negative reviews. Just don't buy this game and spend you money on something else.    … Expand

    Do NOT buy this game.
    Do not throw your money on the wind. Graphics in this game like in games from 1999, there is no even screen resolution settings (no graphics settings almost just FOV and Fullscreen, that's all). Fonts are awful also.

    After checking this game out I found that not only was it unoriginal, being nearly a complete clone of ace of spades, hideous to look at, but it was also unsatisfying. The guns had no recoil whatsoever, and many having a watergun bullet spray feel to them.

    Guncraft is simply an attempt to cash in on Minecraft's success. This game looks terrible and plays horribly. The interface is confusing and difficult to navigate. It feels like an attempt to combine Minecraft and Call of Duty which has failed badly. Do not buy.

    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.

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