    Although the foundation for a great online twin-stick shooter has been laid with Secret Ponchos, it's going to need more content and a meatier core mode to really keep people interested -- until then, I think the game will struggle with keeping some of its community.

I been really wanting an isometric PVP arena game, and this certainly did not disappoint. Gameplay is fast, fun and fluid. Your performance is make or break based on how well you can strategize your next killer moves in the fly. Characters are unique and have pretty good balance overall.

    The biggest problems right now are with lag and matchmaking. There is often buggy game-breaking lag which causes some enemies to zig-zag across the map at blazing speeds and still kill you. Matchmaking is also inconsistent: either you get placement in a match quickly, or it never happens. I also had problems with being separated from my friends in the lobby. There should also be a way to stay in the same lobby at the end of the match.

    Overall, great game, but needs some more work on the backend.

    Awesome game I've been playing non-stop since i got it free and got my friends hooked on the early access for PC since they don't have PS4. ByAwesome game I've been playing non-stop since i got it free and got my friends hooked on the early access for PC since they don't have PS4. By far one of the funnest games I've played in a long time. The matches are generally about 2 mins long which lets you play a bunch of matches quickly. 8 player free for all is chaos lol just sneak around and steal kills for the most part. But where its at is 2v2's especially if you have a friend.
    Twin stick shooter at its best. Dead Nation my fav Co-op twin stick. Secret Ponchos my Fav twin stick PVP shooter.
