What players say

Players enjoy the 2v2 co-op mode, praising it as creative and team-dependent. The AI is strong, especially at higher difficulties. However, the player base is small, making matchmaking difficult, and performance problems like lag and crashes are common. Some players suspect ranked opponents are bots due to inconsistent skill.
