    Why is this a thing? The mechanics are clunky, the game isn't optimized, the gameplay is lacking.... seriously, why does it even exist?????????????????

    Despite the current five positive user reviews, I'd have to say watching the trailers for this game and live game play on youtube made my wallet recoil back into my pocket. This is a boring FPS.

    Probably one of the biggest let downs in a while. The vision for the game was great. It's a shame the execution was so poorly done. Sloppy, hastily thrown together game. If it were F2P it might be worth a a few minutes of play but as a paid title it just disappoints. there are only ever about 10-15 players online and spawning is almost always a guaranteed instant spawn death. Ridiculous.

    Ставлю этой игре оценку 2 из 10 . В игре очень плохая графика , но высокие системные требования , много багов и недоработок , ужасный мультиплеер не приятно убивать врагов . Не понимаю как 505 games смогли сделать такое говно .

    The core game mechanics are pretty solid lending themselves to fairly fast paced gameplay. Some launch time bugs and minor game balance issues hold it back a little bit, but an emphasis on and actual release of mod tools (something fewer and fewer games are doing these days) gives me some hope for the game. Well worth the $15 price tag in my opinion.

    This is a fun fast paced fps. I don't know why all the critic reviews are so critical of it.? If you just looking for a game you can jump in to and shoot some people up, then Rekoil is for you.

    Wow, the biggest problem with this game is the poor execution on a PROVEN game type. CS clones are pretty abundant, and hell if you are really interested in trying something new, you could try ones that are much higher rated than this.

    The server browser allow me to filter and search for whatever type of a game I would like to play. Once I find a server I can jump right in quickly and easily. I have plenty of choices right away for player classes and weapons. This is what I like the most. Everything is unlocked immediately and can be accessed.

    The big thing that excites me about Rekoil is the fact it has mod and mapping tools that shipped with the game at launch. All of the games assets are available to make your own little world.

    Long story short, if you want some fast paced action and like dedicated servers, then Rekoil is your game.    … Expand

    The game is fast-paced, there's no perks, no killstreaks...just you and your gun,pistol and equipment. The maps are really well made. I'm not into modding, but we will have to wait, pretty sure some crazy things will come out of it. Did I forget to say dedicated servers? Big plus right there. If the devs stay close to the community then this game will be played for a very long time.

    This Game is unfinished and you cant expect that everything in it is perfect they went to far by releasing a unfinished game but the way I see it is it only gets better from here the game has features that tons of games don't have that makes it unique I have a tough time understanding the map making but I try my best to make something for **** and giggles and eventually this game will beThis Game is unfinished and you cant expect that everything in it is perfect they went to far by releasing a unfinished game but the way I see it is it only gets better from here the game has features that tons of games don't have that makes it unique I have a tough time understanding the map making but I try my best to make something for **** and giggles and eventually this game will be better then what people believe Ill be making a video review for Rekoil. its a game made by a new team I'm not to familiar with The company but they are using all feed back they get and they are striving for the success of this game I might not know much about Rekoil but what I can say is it will only get better from here. Also the price of the game isn't to bad you get more for 15$ then you get with CS GO and its fast pace action fun but it can be stale at time that's why I'm hoping the custom maps can spice up the gameplay let alone show off the map designers who make them everyone should be noticed this game is a work in progress.

    The dev's thought this was 1990 for some reason. You just can't release a buggy game in 2014 and expect good reviews. There's nothing going for the game, and if you even bothered to watch those interviews with the developers, they literally had nothing to say about the game.

Small maps, 0 players.

    Game went on sale for half a dollar because of how bad it was. 505 blatantly lied to people about the game being actively worked on even when the developers themselves stated they were no longer working on the game.

    Rough around the edges would be an understatement. Sadly, it's just hard to find a reason why you should play Rekoil, given the abundance of choices in its genre.

    Rekoil is a banal title with poorly implemented features, confusing UI and ugly aesthetics. I can appreciate what Plastic Piranha tried to do, but sadly they have failed to deliver on promises of balanced, competitive gameplay – and even on some of the basic core mechanics of a competent FPS.

    The problems of Rekoil are many, starting with the unbalanced weapon system to the extremely annoying and frequent visual bugs. The respawn system has been miscalculated. Bad sound, animations and poor 3D models come together to provide a badly balanced game.
