Quick History
Game was originally on steam (the port, not the game itself). Console version had a more, updated version. PC port never made it past 1.0. I don't know who was in charge of the port.
Never made any effort to catch up. Every 'update' was more cash-grab weapons.

Removed from Steam, placed on Windows Store. Same sh*t happened. Removed from PC altogether shortly after.

The sole existence of the game was to get as much money as possible before being pulled. The game past 2.0 was more balanced in terms of f2p. Never got there, and never will at this point.

I opted to remove the game form my account completely, out of sheer anger at how they were treating the port. Wished I didn't as this game is, more or less, a relic now. Tho if I remember, I think the game demanded a live connection to the servers to even allow you to play the game.

My old review when the game still existed
Do I recommend this game? Well that's a hard question as I'm in between saying yes and no. I do enjoy the game when matchmaking decides to be fair and my matches don't drop randomly. Ill go through cons and pros. Yes cons first as you need to hear the bad about this game before getting into it.

Cons:
I came to this game from having played it on Xbox, hopping to find the same amount of joy I had playing it. Truth be told, it wasn't what I expected. The steam port has a greatly reduced community, the game is extremely far behind in updates compared to the Xbox version and on top of that it has all the annoying glitches that I had to put up with on the Xbox such as:

1. Random drops and disconnection from the server/matches(it doesn't happen all the time but it will happen to you eventually).

2. Getting placed against end-game players: This is a huge drawback as the equipment system in the game allows you to get ridiculously overpowered resulting in a huge disadvantage against lower tier players.

3. Super premium items: No you don't have to use premium currency to get your hands on one but it takes time to get one and get a good one for a specific class. I think the Xbox port has this system where you can actually level up an item to premium then super premium once you max out its level but again the steam port is VERY far behind in updates.

4. Small Player base: Get use to seeing the same guy over and over and over. Especially the guy with max level items all of which are lvl15.

5. Hit detection: You chase a guy running away, hit him a few times, and he suffers 0 damage. On the other hand if he hits you, you take damage and your health doesn't magically regenerate in 2 seconds...which oddly enough seems like every one has even if they don't have the perk to increase health regeneration.


Well now on to the pros:

1. Fun game and light atmosphere: When you're not raging against having to fight op players, this game is really f****** fun.

2. Defense is meaningful: nobody stays back and defends the castle 90% of the time but if you decide to (and pray god you picked a cleric or engineer as they are the only classes that can build turrets) you can very well become mvp and # 1 player on your team and secured the win.

3. Nice map designs: Not too big, not too small. Has good atmosphere but some maps need more depth into them.

4. Co-op isn't a bad option to play this game: Pvp can and WILL get frustrating and make you want to contemplate suicide... well not that last part but sometimes it isn't sunshine and rainbows. Co-op is a nice change of pace and killing bots after bots is a nice stress reliever. Not to mention you get about the same amount of xp and currency just like in multiplayer, minus the league points.


Overall it is a nice game and seeing what it can be (Xbox version) I have high hopes the steam port here will eventually redeem itself. Its a fun game, few bumps here and there but it isn't complete garbage.

Surprise!
As stated in the beginning, I was wrong. It was complete garbage and a literal cash grab. No effort to update the game beyond money.
