The verdict
A free, old-school Counter-Strike-style shooter that runs on almost any PC and can be quick nostalgic fun. Skip it if pay-to-win, rented weapons, hackers and empty servers bother you.
Great for
Nostalgic players with low-end PCs who want a free, simple arcade shooter to play with friends
Main risk
Pay-to-win time-limited weapons, hackers and a small player base make matches frustrating
What players love

Mentioned in ~1 in 9 positive reviews
