The server lag has gotten significantly worse to the point where you’ll get shot behind a wall. There are also a lot of hackers and unfortunately nothing really gets done about them. They have a self reporting system but the hackers are so prevalent at this point the game is no longer enjoyable and I’ve deleted. If you play this game do so with the knowledge that anything you go into a match with you will lose. I’ve tried submitting feedback tickets but they get ignored. There is also a lot of racist people in the game. It will become obvious that the hackers typically have Asian characters in their name, which in turn leads to a lot of racist language about Asians showing up in the chat. Again, I’ve reported several people but nothing gets done. **Developer response:** We have received your feedback and are sorry you were dissatisfied with your experience. We will take your and other players' suggestions into consideration to keep improving the game. We hope you have a better gaming experience in the future. Have a great day! ### 3/5 — Realism and FPP *2022-12-07, version 1.0.26* I really like this game, but, big but, realism would make it soooo much better. For example, adding multiple armors that hold different armor plates and specific ammunition with different penetration power and damage, I am not saying rework the game, just add some realism. Second, you can’t play FPP solo for whatever reason. This type of game should be a hardcore shooter and in hardcore shooters you can have campers, third person does not help with campers. Also on the topic of FPP, it would be cool if it was focused on as the main style of play in my opinion. In all honesty, the closer to tarkov a game is on mobile the more popular it is. Thank you for reading! ### 2/5 — Terrible in every way. *2022-08-13, version 1.0.24* This game is not only a knock-off Tarkov, but a garbage one at that. Download if you enjoy getting pub-stomped by people that are much better with much better guns and weapons, and if that’s not your thing, how about the terrible wait times and fact the game is practically dead? It’s pointless to even try to progress, because after you stop playing with bots for the first few games, the unfair matchmaking thrusts newbies in with veteran players and it’s a recipe for the worst game I’ve ever downloaded, be it on phone, or pc…oh right, not only do you unfairly get matched up with veterans, you get matched up with PC players, which leaves you with NO chance of fun; unplayable. ### 5/5 — Amazing game!! I’m addicted!! *2022-07-16, version 1.0.23* I deleted cod mobile and pub g this game is different and unique the graphics and mechanics are 10 out of 10 I can’t ask anything more from this game it’s so Perfect I only wish it had controller support and I wish they would spend money on advertising so more people would find this game because it’s so good and underrated It’s should be talked about just as much as apex mobile cod mobile and pub g but It’s not it’s stuck in the shadows not many people know about this game but if they did it would be every where I just know people would love this game just nobody knows it exist if they did some advertising more people would find it play it and more people would be in every lobby and in the map then the game would be even more fun give this game a chance i promise you will like it and it will surprise you how good it is but you probably have never heard of it before ### 4/5 — Needs changes *2022-07-13, version 1.0.23* It’s a great game but it needs 3 changes 1 the game needs to have a purpose not just to get good gear but after that what are you supposed to do with your god gear what exactly because from my experience most people just keep their god loot in their warehouse and never use it so they don’t lose it also their needs to be coop competitions were for example first place gets a really good chest plate like their needs to be a better purpose and challenge to the game because as of now their is no purpose except for if your bored to do something other then that great game just needs some changes **Developer response:** Dear Player, thank you for taking the time to share your suggestion. Every feedback is important to us as we're always eager to seek new ways to improve our game. Please don't hesitate to share any additional suggestions with us, we'll be happy to hear them. ### 4/5 — this is a long one *2022-07-10, version 1.0.23* So like i said it’s a long one, I want to say first- Thank for even taking a second to look at this review. If your thinking of getting this game this should help you decide. First of all: this part is to give you an idea of what the game is like, This game HEAVILY focus’s on loot and collecting materials, it’s a great looter shooter with PUBG feel to it. Only in 3rd person tho. Other wise it feels like CODM, It plays like if you get spotted and you don’t spot them, Your Dead. Do element of surprise is Very big here, also it’s Very related to EFT (Escape From Tarkov) You go into the map. Loot for Guns Ammo Grenades Materials. Get the escape zone, go to lobby store loot in warehouse. Keep guns and ammo equipped, rinse and repeat. If you die any Current loot will be lost except one item in a special slot. (Which can be expanded) so it can be pretty tense at times. Do not play this game if: You have high stress levels You don’t like campers You don’t like losing your progress Play this game if: You like high risk high reward You are competitive You enjoy sniping You like a verity of guns and customization options. Overall this game is a solid 7/10 Good gameplay high stakes, looks decent not the best. good customization options. Satisfying guns. Thank you for your time -BOXhead ### 5/5 — Some changes pls *2022-05-27, version 1.0.23* It would be cool if you could choose to play in first person on every map and not just select ones and also adding more weapons and attachments in general and maybe making different ammo types because not every 5.56 has the same bullet case length and also in general making it more of an escape from tarkov like game Please put more weapons, attachments and ammo types in please ### 2/5 — Looks fun doesn’t work *2022-05-18, version 1.0.22* Love the idea of the game. Really wanted to try it. Took the time to download and update and all that. Then it tells me it doesn’t support gameplay in my country. Uhm hello I live in the US that’s where all games work I thought. But whatever. Fix your game re-release it, I would still love to try it if it ever becomes available in my country. Also there is no way to get to a customer service spot to submit anything. It won’t let me past the login screen. Super sad. ### 5/5 — Great game *2022-05-14, version 1.0.22* Iv had this game for a couple months. I have absolutely loved this game but I wish there was a few more maps and guns or attachments. It is EFT on your phone tho so I definitely like that aspect of the game. You die you lose everything unless it’s insured and you get lucky enough that no one wants your loot. Great shooting and controls. Definitely would recommend playing if you’re into shooters and looting for your gear ### 5/5 — Love this game but an idea *2022-05-02, version 1.0.22* An idea I have is you should add realistic damage like if you get shot in the arm you should have to bandage that part of your body it would make the game a lot better to experience also without asking too much if you could have like quests to do the more you progress through the quests you get to buy more and better gear and I love this game reminds me of tarkov keep up the good work ## Frequently asked questions about Badlanders ### What is Badlanders?
