I want to start by saying that I had a great time playing this game. I tend to like cheap dude shooters, it's a weakness of mine. I like the gunplay; the reloads are fast, the guns do serious damage and are very satisfying, and the respawns are fast and kick you back into the fight in Deathmatch mode pretty quickly. The game runs very smoothly on my lower end R7. But let's get into the meat of the game: The gameplay!
Everyone starts out with an Assault Rifle that does decent damage reliably at all ranges, an SMG that is just slightly more useful than throwing sand at your enemies, and a sniper rifle that can kill anyone in one shot, but has a slow reload.
As you play, you'll unlock very slightly better versions of these guns, as well as a sotgun that is amazing in tight spaces.
At the start of the game you'll be prompted to select a soldier from 8 characters, each of whom has 1 cooldown ability. These abilities appear to be taken from the anime, although admit I've never seen the show or films. These abilities recharge over time, and can be charged faster by killing enemies. While all of the abilities are useful in theory, I foundthe only one I found useful was the Arm Launcher, a rocket propelled grenade that explodes on contact wit an enemy or wall. I found it helpful when fighting Think Tanks, as they can kill them in one hit. The other ability I find useful is NanoArmour, which not only doubles your armor and heals you, but if you let it build to rank 2 it lets 2 other teammates also gain health and armor. This ability isn't really helpful in Team Deathmatch, but is incredible in Demolition (aka Counterstrike Mode) and in Terminal Mode (aka Team Fortress Capture Points)
Let's talk about some of the issues I have with this game. While the game runs just fine, the menu interface is in desperate need of an overhaul. When you sign in, the first game I join ALWAYS freezes and won't let me play for about 25 seconds or so. As if this isn't bad enough, if I perform well enough in the match to level up anything, (or I earn a random drop) I don't have enough time to return to the lobby and vote for a map, sometimes stalling me to the point where I'm locked into the next match.
While I'm playing matches, I find it hard enough to tell my teammates apart in the heat of the action, but on most of the maps (and there aren't that many) the enemy team all use the same model. Speaking of the maps...I Don't like em. I mean, they're great, well designed maps, but aside from the mall, it's all the same drab grey blandness, so generic I half expect to find out the dev team recycled parts of some of them from older games.

All and all, I do recommend you try this game if you don't own CS:GO or Call of Duty, it's a good substitute if you're a cheap bastard like me, but I really feel like this game isn't going to stick, it just feels like a cheap cash in on a popular anime brand, especially with it's complete lack of content and it's gaul to as 190 USD in dlc skin packs and limited use consumables. So have at it wile they're are still players on the servers.
