The verdict
A free, nostalgic voxel arcade shooter with simple gunplay. Skip it if you want a healthy playerbase, fair matches or working anti-cheat: cheaters, pay-to-win and empty servers dominate.
Great for
Nostalgic VK/Facebook-era players who want a simple, free, blocky arcade shooter to play casually or with friends
Main risk
Cheaters, pay-to-win gear and near-empty servers make it frustrating for newcomers
What players love
Simple, fun Minecraft-meets-shooter gameplay
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews
