How it feels
A clunky, third-person cover shooter full of tense, violent firefights and a grim, sweaty atmosphere, with an ugly charm from its janky mechanics and aggressive tone.

What players say
Players have mixed feelings on this gritty cover shooter. The shooting feels awkward and the AI is dated, but the chaotic public firefights and two endings hold up. The game needs xliveless and third-party patches to run, which frustrates some players. Opinions are split on whether it was misunderstood or just mid.
