The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of lightning-fast top-down competitive shooters who enjoy lethal dueling and custom map creation.: Duels resolve in fractions of a second through crisp top-down aiming and sharp movement, backed by an accessible in-game editor that lets players build and test custom battlegrounds instantly. Tradeoff: A small player population means finding active matches often requires organizing sessions externally, leaving solo players with very little to do.

What it does best

  • A relentless top-down firefight built for adrenaline

  • A map editor that turns players into content creators

  • Competitive shooting with a demanding skill ceiling

What might put you off

  • Empty servers and a small player population

  • Early Access incompleteness
