Very innovative and fun, but a bit too unpopular

I find the game's ideas very unique. They're unique in the good way; the game innovates in a space that really needs it - the arena shooter genre of course!

The game's more interesting features, like Ethernet mode, are not gimmicks, either; they are the result of good game design, resulting in a fun, fast-paced shooter somewhat similar to Unreal Tournament.

However, there are two big problems.

  • No-one plays it. There are two servers and they are almost always empty. A real shame!
  • While the rest of the game is very well thought-out and polished, the user interface is extremely ugly and honestly makes the game hard to play. At least, it significantly reduces the experience for me. It also presents a steep learning curve to anyone new to the game

Overall, I think it is a good, generally polished, but very underappreciated game. However, it has a high learning curve and this is understandable. Great game nevertheless, and certainly worth your time, especially if you enjoy arena shooters!

Interesting game design.

But I think its a proposal of such type, innovative rather than fun to play.
