About A Universal Time:
The game is labeled as Free-To-Play, yet it’s not truly a Free-To-Play as you can currently only play at a specific hour each day so if you have school, work, or anything else that requires your attention during the hour you won’t be able to play the game. In order to play whenever you want for as long as you want you’ll need to pay money to become a “Founder”. I would like to say that the dev did mention this in the “Early Access Game” section by stating the following, “Actually the game is free with a limited access in day hour of matchmaking and full access if you become a Founder. Later we will implement a battlepass system and the matchmaking will become completely free.” Therefore in the future the game will become a true Free-To-Play game once a battlepass is implemented. I saw the game, thought it looked pretty fun, saw that the logo looked pretty cool, as well (a faux pas sports logo, like this was gonna be a sports-like game) and decided to give it a try… the keyword here is TRY, because I couldn’t actually CONNECT to a game. The game itself looks pretty nice. It seems to run pretty smoothly, too. Aesthetically, it’s Counter-Strike characters in a world constructed with themes from various popular Battle Royale games like The Culling, PUBG, Apex Legends, etc. It’s like if you dropped Ukrainian soldiers in a shoe store Drake would go to. Something like that. Getting into the gameplay, it seems to be pretty well-built for a military shooter-type game. The controls do what they’re supposed to do (from what I can tell, at least). All I can do is shoot and destroy moving targets in Training mode, but from that alone, the game seems to play fine. The music is AWESOME! Funky, EDM rock plays on the title screen… and it’s EDM rock done RIGHT! A blues rock jam seamlessly weaving over a four-on-the-floor disco beat. I love it, and I wish I could find it somewhere on the Internet! At least the game tells you what song it is, which reminds me of N++ or Rocket League, so kudos to the developer for at least doing that! Unfortunately, here comes the crux of the main problem: matchmaking doesn’t work! People seem to be playing the game, but CERTAINLY not through matchmaking! There seems to be a fatal issue with it right now; the developer even tells you upfront on the matchmaking page. When matchmaking is fixed, I’ll update my rating accordingly, but until then, I’m gonna have to give this game a negative rating.
