What players say
The game was pretty entertaining, but unfortunately, that didn't last long. Main problem is infinite loop - buy a gun, fix, sell, repeat. and another big problem for me (since i recently started getting 100% on every game) is that they added achievements that require me to get DLC. Overall the game is great. recommend.
Very well done game, with detailed parts. Those who have no idea how guns work can learn a lot in this game. But - there is hell too many errors and mistakes, like false info in descriptions (Mauser C96 really hurt my eyes and brain when I was reading it...) wrong animations (like the Mossberg shotgun's reload is wrong, as you the character loads the tube, then inserts a shell into the chamber by hand, which irl is...
game wants to make 2 parts on the CNC and buys 2 of everything in the shop for some reason. guess I'll turn the game off until the next update...
