This game is NOT "pay to win", and has a pretty diverse progression scheme. You get matched out of your level sometimes because the game doesn't have enough players at times. The gameplay is fun, and it's a fresh take on the overdone Battle Royale format. Definitely will continue playing, the art of the game is great and the gameplay is fun and challenging in new and interesting ways. Expand

    It is really fun game. Idea of game is very good. Graphic is excellent. Only one bad thing is that PvP fights are too long. I recommend this game

They could have made a very innovative Battle Royale but weren't capable of doing so.

    For people trying to know if this game is good, simply get the idea that it has "new" mechanics to the Battle Royale genre, only its a horrible mess, so confusing that the tutorial is barely useful. Simply don't play it

Aids-like matchmaking system, after the tutorial i tried one game, got matched up against players that had fully upgraded gear and skins, at least 5-10 levels above me (0). The devs encourage these players by lack of nerfs and patches to fix these gameplay issues Expand

    They ruined their own game, they want to be Escape from tarkov now, but with so much less going on for it. Theyre trying to reuse all theirThey ruined their own game, they want to be Escape from tarkov now, but with so much less going on for it. Theyre trying to reuse all their content from their previous version of this game, which makes it buggy, broken and incredibly frustrating.
    You die from brushing against walls, from dropping 20cm, from glitching through or getting stuck in stones or even bushes.
    You spawn in one side of the map, have to travel in ultra slowmotion to the other side all while your footsteps are so loud that the only thing you are sure to extract with, is PTSD.
    Frustrating, broken and pathetic to sum it up.

    Sad to see an otherwise fun and polished game get thrown into the toilet from a developer who has no idea what their players want, and obviously do not care.
    Insulting and discarding thousands of fans for the first game, to try and mimic a game that is allready made several times before, and each time much better than this pathetic attempt.
