### 3/5 — Good game

*2026-08-26, version 14.8500*

Fun to play but need more maps as getting a bit boring, also, should be able to purchase weapons from previous events

### 2/5 — Яша

*2026-08-21, version 14.8500*

В игре Донат по одной стоимости, в магазин перекидывает , там цены конские

### 3/5 — Too many Ads

*2026-08-20, version 14.8500*

Fun game! Maps like old school CS !My complaint is just way too many ads. I need to close like 6 pop ups just to get into a battle.

### 2/5 — Too many ads, doesnt resemble original cs at all!

*2026-08-15, version 14.8500*

This game is pretty wack and entirely marketed around freemium features it really holds no resemblance of counter strike either in my opinion, there are no customizations of your weapons like scopes or anything either but everything wants you to pay money and the app isnt worth investing in.

### 3/5 — It’s fun but…. $$$

*2026-08-11, version 14.8007*

It’s a fun game that definitely reminds me of Counter Strike.  And like CS, it’s pay to win.  The battle pass for this mobile game  costs more than a Call of Duty pass.  Looking at weapons that have locked skins that were only available through events from years ago, basically unattainable.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-09, version 14.8007*

Me and my brother love this game when he dies i play when I die he plays it’s so fun and when he gets the phone he says “ watch me cook”.

### 1/5 — Purchase goes missing

*2026-08-08, version 14.8007*

There either glitch or system steals from your account , many time my gold goes missing after purchase .

### 3/5 — Gutes Spiel

*2026-08-08*

Es ist an und von sich ein gutes einfaches Spiel. Grafik, Haptik und Steuerung sind gut. Aber leider ist es ab einem bestimmten Punkt nur noch Pay to win. Ich z.B. habe es in die Platinliga geschafft. Habe jetzt eine Waffe mit 6k stärke, aber spiele gegen Spieler die Waffen ab 20k Stärke besitzen. Zudem besitzen sie unglaublich Starke Ausrüstung, die man nur durch Echtgeld bekommt … 
Wenn man sich die Ressourcen leichter erfarmen könnte, würde ich auch mehr Sterne geben.

### 3/5 — Game suggestions

*2026-08-06*

Game is good but i have suggestions like let us choose which map i would like to plya and when you give us update there you ask money to upgrade and take subscription thats ok no problem we can buy the subscription but after buying only you provide gadgets that not enough for gadgets ill not pay bring some new mode new map something interesting then people will enjoy this game

### 5/5 — I’m good at it

*2026-08-06, version 14.8007*

I’m good at the game

### 1/5 — Matching is terrible

*2026-08-26, version 14.8500*

One stupid star. Try fixing your matching. Level 43 va level 129. Seems fair. Dumb.

### 1/5 — Pay to win and lots of ads

*2026-08-26, version 14.8500*

Okay soo… i decided to try the game out and… there was a lot of ads, also you have to keep spending money just to buy a weapon, then that weapon is replaced by another weapon you have to buy…and it goes on… so please at the very least decrease the amount of ads, and add knifes or melees please?

### 1/5 — WARNING FOR PAYING PLAYERS: Spending money breaks your game rewards!

*2026-08-26, version 14.8500*

Do not Spend real money on this game. The Developers have a massive glich or intentional trap in their system. The moment you buy anything with real money, the game flags your account to remove forced ads. However, because the code is poorly optimized, it also removes the „3x Reward“ button at the end of the matches.

Because I Paid real money, I am now locked out of multiplying my match gold and XP. Free-to-play players get 3x rewards, but paying customers are punished with 1x rewards. The only way to temporarily fix it is to delete and reinstall the game over and over again, wich is ridicilous.

Do not buy anything until Vertigo Games fixes the premium account ad-flag bug!

### 1/5 — Hmmm

*2026-08-25, version 14.8500*

This is my third review now. I do like playing this game. BUT! The programming seems to be able to control the outcome and not the teams playing. Either that or people have hacks. Also teams are not equal most times. You can't possibly beat the other side. Just played and killed three enemy in a row but the team score didn't go up. No point paying for things if the game doesn't run fair. As for the cost of pay to play 😱😱😱. Very expensive. I just play for what it is. I time filler in.

### 1/5 — Lies

*2026-08-23, version 14.8500*

Was blatantly lied to by the devs or community manager or someone.  Kept seeing ads for this game.  Looked pretty good.  Not a fan of touch controls and asked if there was controller support.  I was told “absolutely!  You can use your favorite device.”  Lies.  Controllers don’t work at all.  

I was also not a fan of being led by the nose for the first several minutes of the game.  “Click this.  Now click here.  No go here.  Click this.”  With no option not to do it.  Had to force exit and reload several times before I could decide what I wanted to do.

### 1/5 — Not compatible with backbone

*2026-08-23, version 14.8500*

Really sucks

### 1/5 — To high of cost

*2026-08-21, version 14.8500*

Do not get enough gold or cash for games won or for the buys, to many devs in game trying to push

### 1/5 — Все за бабки

*2026-08-19, version 14.8500*

Без доната игра чмо ,постоянная реклама после каждого боя ,дичь

### 1/5 — Bs money grab

*2026-08-10, version 14.8007*

Horrible scam game

### 1/5 — You have to close +10 pop ups with in purchases before you can even see the menu screen.

*2026-08-09, version 14.8007*

There are no many pop ups for in app purchases that I wonder if this game is just a scam that managed to by pass the Apple requirements
