The verdict

A charming build-your-own-vehicle arena shooter with deep customization, but the servers are nearly empty. Skip it unless you can bring friends.

Great for

Friend groups wanting a free, nostalgic vehicle-building arena shooter who can fill a lobby themselves

Main risk

Servers are empty, so you often can't find a match at all

Deep vehicle customization
