Early Access Review
Fun game, absurdity aside its just a solid survival game and the creature catch em aspects are really fun! I would like to see more added, perhaps a way to randomise the spawn zone so people can choose where they initially spawn rather than having to die to select a start base or a way to randomise the map

Fun arena based game. It is NOT like the storm games, if you want that try Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 or Demon Slayer: Hinokami Chronicles.

Further note: New players will NOT have access to any jutsu besides defaults per class. You must either grind to get new jutsu or buy them with IRL money.

Those two things aside the game is very enjoyable, has a nice learning curve and is fun in short bursts for me personally.

TLDR - Fantastic Halo game, really fun to play and great PC controls. Monitization kills any form of player progression and the game has lost most of its traditional halo feel due to this. I do recommend this game as a great shooter but do not expect this to cater to hardcore gamers. This is the most casual fun shooter you could possibly play imo.

So this game is amazing and wonderful and I am loving it to bits. It feels much better on PC than MCC ever did (for me personally I had to use controller on it no question, however for Infinite KB&M plays amazing!). Music is wonderful, I am a personal fan of the art and graphics of the game and running this on my mid tier laptop proves to be no hastle with a steady framerate!

But there are GLARING problems with the game. Mainly the lack of player progression. Yes this is a free to play game, however the battle pass has NO way to earn premium currency (that really is premium, the prices for it are insane!). Further the only way to increase your battle-pass level is to complete randomly generated weekly and daily challenges that award XP (this is the only XP system in the game btw). I have played 5.3 hours, in that time using 2 XP boosters that I bought with said premium currency I have achieved BP level 4. My friend reached 3 and my other friend who did not perform as good as myself is still level 1. All 3 of us have clocked in over 4 hours in this game. That is a poor XP economy.

Speaking of boosters, do not bother buying them, seriously. XP boosters come in a bundle that contain consumables that allow you to reroll a weekly challenge and cost around £2/$2 to buy. However the XP booster only lasts 30 minutes. Yup. An entire half hour, which starts the second the booster is popped. You can only pop the booster while either in game queue or before in the menu. And as the only XP you get is challenge completed, if you do not complete a lot of challenges in that half hour time bracket, you wont earn much XP. Again, its a horrible system that benefits no one but whales.

Yet the core gameplay is intrinsicly halo but a more modern take. It removes itself from the gimmicks of Halo 5 and the slo mo falling superman punch. It rids itself of assasinations in favour of the instant melee to the back of the skull kills, armour abilities are a thing of the past and now we have abilities we pick up just like weapons as we play along side a new scanner that tells us where weapons spawn and highlights them for us. We have a new friend in the form of player customisable AI (again mostly behind battlepass) but the AI chips in while we play with some humerous quips that make me smile as I desperately try to get killing frenzy or equip a power weapon. It has life to it that was missing from 4 and 5 that make me enjoy playing it again.

But, whats the point of this if my progression is severely limited and the Spartan I could make in reach, in 4 and in 5 can no longer be made because I have to pay and sink so much time into attempting to get him. Why should I play objective in gamemodes (btw you cannot change gamemodes, they are random from a pre selected list) if my performance does not net me XP but "Flattening an enemy spartan with a Reever" does?

But I cannot say I do not recommend it, for its flaws which do need to be addressed otherwise this game may well end up becoming very very unsavoury, it is a fun VERY CASUAL shooting game.

Pros:
- Great fun mechanics
- It feels like halo but modernised
- Gimmicks are gone!
- New weapons I actually enjoy though some just seem like they were put for padding the pool out
- New AI buddy is amazing, I love its commentary.
- Music is so good.

Cons:
- Cannot select specific gamemodes, all are random including ranked
- Seems to be some desync issues occurring currently, if you are one to rage at video game bs keep this in mind
- ZERO PROGRESSION!!
- Very over monitized game, even for a F2P. Apex, Fortnite, and other games have much better system in place that both
generate income for the devs/publisher without being intrusive to the experiece as a player.
- Extremely casual game due to lack of player progression
- No reward for performing well in matches, no player XP or battle pass XP outside of random challenges
- Weapons are fun but some feel like they were simply added for padding the pool out a bit
- Currently this is MP only. Campaign has to be bought for £49.99 in case you were unaware.
- Player customisation is severly limited compared to previous games and most armour is locked behind battle pass
progression
- Premium currency prices are absolutely ridiculous. Definitely the most "premium" of premium currency I have ever
witnessed

Early Access Review
Highly recommened game, its as if the characters from Borderlands landed in the world of XCOM! Brilliant gameplay with some very funny taunts.

Only issue with this game is that for myself, it keeps closing everytime a match is finished, regardless of the result, this also happens in vs bots game.

I would like to ask the devs to include some optimisation for low spec machines because i am assuming this is the issue. However, fantastic game, and worth the buy!

First ever MOBA I have properly gotten into and it is amazing

Pros:
Quite a few free Gods you can grab (I think there are about 8 Gods i got for free)
The gameplay is amazing, the 3rd person perspective is wonderful
Wonderful community, Sure there are toxic players here and there, but the community helps out a lot with new players
Pretty much any computer can run it, even on the lowest settings the game works very well
You do not have to spend any money on the game if you do not want!
Wonderful competative scene

Cons:
Steam support for this game is buggy, I do not advice buying gems or the ultimate god pack through Steam
Servers can bug out a bit here and there but its not frequent enough for it to be an issue, but it is annoying


Wonderful game, its free so try it, but do not buy gems or anything through steam, instead if you open up the game and want to buy the starter pack, ultimate god pack or some gems, go to the store tab and click the green buy icon, from there you are using the Hi-Rez store through steam wallet which works. DO NOT BUY FROM THE STEAM STORE.

The game is too full of hackers and although it is fun if you find a game without hackers, it is very rare and not really worth the time.
