Now, I haven't played this in a while, and not for too long, but I just have a few things to say.

First of all, I played the old version of this game, and was not half bad at it, I hope. I loved the simplicity, and everything seemed pretty balanced. The digging and building aspect was extremely useful. In fear of getting gunned down by a SMG wielding maniac? Build a small fortification. Got a short ranged weapon? Tunnel behind them. Want to protect your base? Build some fortifications to slow the enemy down. Lots of good stuff that kept everyone guessing and generally having a good time.

Then jetpacks happened.

So now, building defences is practically usless when some guy can just use a class with a in-built fly hack. As much as I love some of the new features, and gamemodes like classic CTF, which brings back all that was good about the original, and more, this game just lacks the smoothness of generic shooters and the quirkyness of lesser known titles such as the old voxel shooter this game emerged from. It makes me feel like it has no idea what it wants to be.


TL;DR: I'm afraid I can't reccomend this product at full price, seeing as the old version still exists under a different name and still has a fairly active community. However, I wouldn't totally rule it out if it's on sale and you have a few spare bucks. It can be fun, but it's got quite a few problems.

I hope this review is helpful to any looking at buying this title.
