Balance: 2/10 - There is no balance in this game. It is purely pay to win and the non-variums don't stand a chance. To further this problem, you must purchase varium frequently due to the unnecessary releases of new overpowered weapons each time they release the latest weapons. The staff feel like they must release new weapons which are always superior to weapons released in previous releases. They also raise the level cap far too often and this results in more overpowered weapons. There is a balance team which have done nothing except for make the game even more bland so far and their ideas seem extremely biased and they hardly consider play feedback.
Content: 4/10 - They have released things such as new battle modes, a retrain revamp, new areas but most of these features are a bit broken and unfinished. We only have about two 2vs1 bosses in the game (so once you defeat them you can't really do much more PvE boss fights). The Juggernaut mode is pretty broken and unbalanced as well. The retrain revamp is also half finished; you can't equip your items while retraining. Of course they say that they will work on these things, but apparently it takes too long to code some things...
Community: 3/10 - No offense, but the community is either full of illiterate fame beggars, scammers and trolls and selfish people. There are few good people who fail to see the flaws in the game mainly because they're loaded with cash. I have seen a few old timers who are nice but most of them have quit. Obviously, I'm not criticising the community as a whole, but this is based on what I've seen on the forums, at oz and in battles.
Variety: 2/10 - There simply is none. Battles are all the same. Different strategies are essentially obsolete. Two points are awarded because of 2v1 bosses, but these also use the same 'strategy'. (agree with Xendran here)
Artwork: 8/10 - Nightwraith has shown great artwork but his recent artwork hasn't been consistent. Weapons such as Azrael, Frostbane, Founder Armour, Cupid's Bane, Frost Destroyer+ more are amazing but it's the bulky and unappealing armours such as the Tesla Armour and Space Warrior that let him down.
Player Staff Relations: 1/10 - Absolutely terrible, even though they have a person assigned to that job but she isn't doing a great job of it. They seem to be only implementing the bad player suggestions and the staff/testers can't even see the game's flaws. They think that they're doing a perfect job.
Updates: 4/10- Updates are delayed frequently, filled with pointless content, and most updates tend to make the game worse. They do have an excuse of a small team for the delays, but the poor content is what gives this a low rating.
Server Upkeep: 8.5/10 - This games server upkeep is significantly better than some other companies. (agree with Xendran)
Server Performance: 4/10 - Constant lag, massive amount of dropped packets. (agree with Xendran)
Overall Rating: 4/10 - Below Average Overall, this game is a bit of a mess, however good server upkeep and incredible art manage to prevent the score from going down further (If these two categories were removed, you'd be looking at an overall score of 2.6). (agree with Xendran, but my score is slightly higher).
Balance: 5/10 - The game isn't extremely balanced but there are killer builds for each of the three classes, and although luck is a relatively large factor, it's still fun to battle other players. There is still a bit of strategy involved and some overpowered items like Frostbane, Founder Armor and the Bunnyzookas do it hard to beat those Founders, but it's still possible :D. Varium is a bit of a necessity but it isn't too overpriced and items are affordable.
Content: 6/10 - They manage to update quite frequently without any bugs or excess lag being caused but there isn't much to do besides battle in 1vs1 or 2vs2. Both of these modes are quite rewarding though, and it's fun saving up for credits or trying to rank up.
Community: 7/10 - The community is all right but there are a lot of arrogant people (especially founders) who aren't as nice to other players and of course there are scammers like there are in all MMOs. It isn't an amazing community, but it's certainly very tight-knit unlike many others.
Variety: 9/10 - Although there are only two battle modes right now and there aren't extensive PvE options or any storyline, it's really fun creating new builds and trying them out. It is also great that you can buy a variety of weapons with a 10k varium package.
Artwork: 8.5/10 - Nightwraith has shown great artwork but his recent artwork hasn't been consistent. Weapons such as Azrael, Frostbane, Founder Armour, Cupid's Bane etc are just amazing but I would like to see more beautiful armours!
Player Staff Relations: 5/10 - Devs post on the forums sometimes, mods are active and doing a decent job but some of them dish out too many bans and are a bit harsh, but that's okay. They do consider some player suggestions, but some of the best ones are ignored despite the good feedback the rest of the community gives about them.
Updates: 5.5/10- Updates are pretty good, not delayed much, seem to be improving the game a bit but they don't contain a lot of new things and they have made a lot of false promises like Faction Founder Stepdown and 2vs1 Boss Battles.
Server Upkeep: 8.5/10 - This games server upkeep is significantly better than some other companies. (agree with Xendran)
Server Performance: 9/10 - Doesn't really lag much except for the occasional bit of lag when it's crowded at oz.
Overall Rating: 7/10 - The game is really fun to play, and it's great fun trying out new builds. This is a great game with a lot of potential and it looks like it will get better and better as time progresses. When features like 2vs1 boss battles are implemented, I can expect this game to be striving. Of course this is not the case, and the game got worse and worse.
