Pros:
- Multiple game modes (CTF, King of the Hill, Battle Royale, Dungeon).
- Customizable ship.
- Good graphics and gameplay.

Cons:
- Co-Op levels require a certain minimum amount of players. Cannot add AI to replace them, thus cannot play the levels (on top of a level requirement).
- Level requirements makes this into more of a grind to unlock the next level.
- Because of the player count requirements, you'll mostly be grinding just 1 level that will be available to you.
- Ridiculously overpriced DLCs.

Thoughts and Notes / Recommendation for Devs:
- The game has incredible potential, and I hope it will one day breathe with life, as current population is low, which is only further contributed by the locked levels with both a player and level requirement.
- Remove the locks on the levels, allow AI to replace players (or remove the minimum requirement if AI is impossible), and allow the AI to be replaced in a game session by a newly joined player (to prevent lobby waiting).
- Definitely add more maps, perhaps with a mini-story to have players engaged. The way things are now, I think "Dungeon" with no requirements should be prioritized for development, as it will increase the chances of players willing to keep the game in their inventory (as of now, most players only have the option to play and re-play the only single-player dungeon map). Especially if I need to pay $100 USD to unlock all content, I'd like more content..

Sentence:
Very chill, laidback and relaxing, good looking atmospheric classical styled casual top-down space defender shooter.

As a long time S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fan that's played multiple mods throughout all 3 games + Survarium, it's a darn shame Vostok Games doesn't have the resources of 4A games or even previous GSC Company, with that in mind hence why I am giving some leeway in this review.

- I can see inspirations from STALKER maps and weapon mods, including most weapons from weapon packs. The feel of firing the firearms is satisfactory. The vehicle graveyards and radars look nice, a lot of familiar places from the map full map of STALKER.
- Moving to Unreal Engine 4, the game still somehow looks just like Survarium, and what's worse, doesn't look better than the last STALKER game, Call of Pripyat. No water ripples, inaccurate reflections, no environmental PhysX, but the scenery looks nice.
- The map is one large area, which is cropped out during matches, so each game you play in a specific sector of the map of Chernobyl. It's a shame that this entire map is used for just 1 mode of Battle Royale. IMHO, if Vostok would have made a Single-Player campaign on this map as a spiritual successor to STALKER with its own story but similar gameplay to the original trilogy, it would have been wonders for me and many fans. Otherwise, this mode alone will get boring quickly.
- NA Server is very unstable. Lag bites and ping goes to maximum 999, but no issues in EU server and higher population.
- Inventory System is a bit messy and could use polishing and updated UI.
- No Global or even Team Chat, so if your partner doesn't have a mic, you can't communicate with anybody.

In Conclusion, I feel like I like this game more out of nostalgia than the actual game. If this game would be combined with Survarium, having all of the game modes fused in one game, as well as most importantly, add a Single-Player campaign with mod support, then Vostok Games can really go far and even be on par with 4A games or the newly built GSC Company that's working on STALKER 2 (also on Unreal 4).

I agree with the veteran crowd. The Danger Zone Battle Royal should've been a separate store item that's F2P while keeping our original CS:GO P2P.
