    Amazing game for an amazing price!

    Although the game is a multiplayer-only game, it is well worth the money. The style of the game is unique, not another FPS game with the same objectives. The fact that you cannot get better weapons for any specific type of weapon makes the game much more fun, knowing how much the weapons will do beforehand and not having to memorize every single gun in order to know who you are dealing with.

    Even though the game has minimal amounts of customization for your character, what can you expect from a new game? Judging by recent updates, you can assume they will be adding much more options as to different clothing items and weapon skins you will be able to receive.

    The characters are all unique, and use their own special abilities that have their own pro's and con's. What's even cooler is the gamemode's present in the game. It makes the game creative, allowing you to have different experiences every time you play.

    All-in-all, the game is well worth the price that they request for the game and I recommend it to anyone looking to have a good 2.5 dimensional gaming experience.
