Edit: Game is dead, devs did not listen at all, repeatedly. The community repeatedly gave valuable feedback that the devs not only read out loud in dev vlogs, but then said "You're wrong" and the playerbase left. Do not ever trust these devs again.

TL;DR: Good game. Me played a lot. Needs tweaks and fixes. Lots of content planned and coming. Good learning curve, fun game play, well balanced mostly. Buy game. Play with friends if you can.

I've played 24 hours in just 2 days of pre release, maxed 2 characters, maxed my hideout, and am most of the way to max level already, so I feel like I'm uniquely qualified to talk about the game.

Also on release there will likely be a day 1 melee meta but I promise stealth and ranged are just as strong or stronger, just keep playing.


Don't get it wrong though, the game needs more content and general balance updates. Fortunately an entire year of content has been planned and has a roadmap of new modes, maps, and characters. But what about the tweaks it needs?

I'd like to see stealth incentivized more by giving me less free info on how much progress the enemy team has. I don't think it's good for balance know that the key was stolen by the enemies before you find the sheriff or see the enemies. Same with the vault opening, or winching.

The 2 smaller maps lead to TDMs where both teams run it down to get the last tick on the winch to win during the final phase, which feels unbalanced but easily fixable with any number of changes to the end phase formula.

All the characters have a learning curve and are useful in one way or another, you can have multiple of the same characters on a team. Perks bring lots of variety to play styles for each character and none feel over powered. Rather each is a tool useful for specific situations and weak in other.

9/10, solid game, needs some small changes, but over all very good and I can't wait to see what the developers do with it.
