I have purchased this game several times because it used to be great. However:

When I purchased this DLC, it was exactly what I wanted. However, the game has not been updated since May 30, 2023. Since then the Arena mode is 100% UNPLAYABLE because the server is down. I loved Arena mode, so I wanted the extra AP every match, and to support the game.

As of now, I can not recommend this product, as it is the equivalent of buying an Apple product: Worthless.

Played after it came out, dealt with the occasional crash and bugs. Came back a year later, and even after fully wiping all my data, settings set to potato quality, after an hour of every fix I could look up and think of, got into the game. Managed 200+ fps main menu, 165 in station, but I launch any mission and the game crashes.

I'm disappointed that a game that worked moderately well a year ago, somehow runs even worse. What is this, the Fallout 4 Next-Gen Patch?


I want to play this game, I want to enjoy it. I'm just glad I didn't buy the DLCs before attempting to replay it.

Occasionally visually stunning. Mediocre idler at best. Added forced input with the addition of VOID.

In my opinion this is made to be a cash grab, instead of a product of passion or creativity. It just feels lacking.

I can see why the developer dropped it. A good "starter" project, but no meat or anything to catch it. "Evil Smash" gave too little benefit, made it more of a chore to continue to play. I look forward to the developer's improvements and see where they go.

BAAA BAA BAAH

Frankly, it's not much. But it was something to occasionally check once or twice a day.

Shader Compilation is so bad it caused hardware damage to my 14th gen Intel. If you have a 13th or 14th gen Intel make sure you update your BIOS with the patch for (0x129), or end up like me and be unable to access BIOS without resetting CMOS, as the game essentially overclocked my CPU, with OUT my consent, with it's terrible optimization.

I've spent 2 hours on debugging this nonsense already. I'd get a refund of this if I hadn't tried this via Steam Family.

The game could be fantastic and God-Tier, but 90% garbage dev decision and 10% trash Intel decision makes this an easy NEVER RECOMMEND.

Straight from Intel themselves for those who deleted their comments: https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Microcode-0x129-Update-for-Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Desktop/m-p/1622129

It's pretty good, I guess.

Numbers go brrrrrrrrrrrrr
