The verdict
A janky but funny $5 hood-themed shooter with old-school CoD/CS gunplay and active devs. Skip it if you're bothered by cheaters, bad spawns and thin content.
Great for
Players wanting a cheap, chaotic, trash-talking retro shooter to play with friends
Main risk
Cheaters, spawn camping and weak maps make the fun wear off within an hour
