Good game. Takes a while to get used to how it wants you to play, but is amazing afterwards. Player created bases are often too easy though, as most people just spam traps without thinking too much about the placement.

A validation system for the bases would be nice though, as it would be a nice incentive to create hidden paths and the likes, leading to more base variety. Currently it is very focused around creating a killbox as the base builder and figuring out how to beat the killbox as the raider. So far every single one was solvable though.

The variety comes from different trap layouts players use. There are slow killboxes which require thinking to get through, as you need to use your limited resources wisely. On the other hand there are trap parkours which require movement, aiming and also the correct usage of your items. Sometimes both are combined, leading to the hardest bases as you need to figure out when to slow down.

Unfortunately the game seems to suffer from a lot of people not understanding the gameplay and complain about "unsolvable bases", just because they are not good enough. No base is unsolvable. Some are harder, some are easier. But theres a reason the game provides you with 3 "Oh ♥♥♥♥!"-Buttons. A reusable shield, a shield to drop down and a literal revive.

This is no game where you have to trick people into traps once. You need to kill them with your layout despite them knowing where the traps are. And as a raider you need to be able to switch tactics. Sometimes you need to think about a trap layout, other times its best to rush through and use shields as well as the ability to deflect traps. And not every level 1 player is supposed to be able to beat every base first try. The amount of level 1 players which attempt to raid my brutal base is astonishing.
