What players say

Players praise the game as a faithful spiritual successor to Ghost Recon Phantoms, but opinions are split on whether its current state is worth paying for. Many highlight a small development team working with limited resources, resulting in bugs, clunky UI, and slow matchmaking, while others see steady improvements and satisfying combat.
