Honestly, this is BULLSH*T. We paid for this game. We supported it when it wasn’t free. Now suddenly everyone gets it for nothing and the people who actually paid are just supposed to be okay with that? If you wanted to make it free, fine. But at least give the people who bought it something. Exclusive skins, founder rewards, credits, anything. Just show some respect to the people who supported you with actual …

Everyone mad that they paid for this game but they would rather pay for it and see it die than a F2P. Overall extremely fun concept, but with the try hard community there is no reason to play online unless you hate yourself. Also you paid for a multiplayer only game, I saw this with Knock Out City and I refused to make the same mistake or purchase.

A bit conflicted about this review - I did give this game a fair shake but the issues stem from the lack of playerbase and not the game itself. Destruction mode is amazing with a fun casual arcadey style that incorporates elements of base building, sieging, and contesting resources. If this game goes F2P and there is more interest then this game can really shine.

This game is rough around the edges and requires a bit of work to smoothen everything out, but it has a lot of potential and a strong foundation. The primary gamemode, Destruction, has a unique and interesting gameplay loop of juggling offense and defense. Currently, the game's primary struggle is maintaining a high concurrent player count. However, the devs expressed their intent on transitioning the game to a …

62% of the 201 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Neighbors: Suburban Warfare. The complaint that keeps coming up: low player count makes finding matches difficult. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played all the public play tests. and when i saw the game on sale for $2 i scoped it up. i loved the play tests and was excited to see the game again but honestly. its ruined. very few lobbies, if someone leaves that team spot is just gone for the game, and honestly little replay value. Imo the game should've never cost a penny. Make the game f2p and bring back the players. even more so when you also have in game microtranscations the game itself is fun. its a fun idea and i would spend…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not consider this a fair or respectful business practice. Selling a game for money and then making it free after some time feels unfair to the people who actually paid for it. If you want your game to be free-to-play, then make it free from the beginning and monetize it through optional in-game purchases. If you want to sell it as a paid product, then keep it as a paid product instead of later giving it away for free. People who supported the game financially at an earlier stage should…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was an early access purchaser. I am not giving this a poor review simply because they rug-pulled the entire community of people who bought this garbage, though a refund would have been nice. Honestly when i saw this was finally in f2p I re-installed with the hopes they actually made the game fun and playable. Technically yes you CAN get into a lobby. Technically you CAN play with other people. Will you also disconnect from lobbies randomly, encounter countless bugs and character balancing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →people complain about making it f2p after paying but it actually has players in it now so.... id say decent trade off
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this review is a no for now the game is really fun but it is very unstable the game craps out after 1 to 2 matches and the hit detection is not the best sometimes just wait until they fix the game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It initially seemed like a good team based game but very quickly after "full release", it started spiralling into the full blown plane crash which it has become. I put the quotation marks around full release because as you can see via the games Shop page, it is an 'early access game' which in my own regards is just a lie the developers are using to excuse the 'misgivings' (to put it in polite terms) that they are doing with the newer updates and expansions. Now to give a rundown of what makes…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →terrible balancing and dev decisions killed the game, community has been asking for f2p for almost a year now and devs announced back in october that they would go f2p ''in the next few months''. truly a shame because it is a fun game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, the game should be F2P; there aren't enough players to fill lobbies. The lobbies you do find are either full, password-protected, or simply have a ping over 200—making it impossible to interact with items like doors or the shop, or causing delays when trying to place abilities like the cannon. I played it as soon as it hit the store and was free. The game features microtransactions, which SHOULD NOT EXIST BECAUSE IT IS A PAID GAME. It had issues back then, and it saddens and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i would rather waterboard myself than ever think of installing this game again. within my 22 minutes of playtime, i have not experienced a SINGLE ounce of joy from this game, only misery. i spent a crisp half of my playtime taking hella backshots from chad players, and the other half sat in the menu because the servers are wack. i cannot explain how much hatred i have for this game, i would rather drown myself in acid than touch this game ever again.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is a lot of fun but you can never find anyone to play, I think they should add a demo mode where you can download for free and play till a certain level or just make the game f2p since right now its hard to find lobbies.

neutral · AI labelView post →Even while free, I still cant recommend. The servers are horrible and its a pain to have to invite your party back after every game. Quick match will not find a match either. Lastly - While looking at the other reviews, its seems as if early access costed money and now its free and the people who bought it are left in a situation where they cant get a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Anyone crying about it being free is dump cause he prefers that the game dies than it being free
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another early access game abandoned by the devs. The game itself was actually pretty fun. If you catch this on a major sale and have a large group of friends to play this with then it could be for you.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lazy. Incompetent. I cannot express just how poorly optimised this 'game' is. I loved First Class Trouble, it clearly had a lot of passion put into it. This however does not. I tried using my controller, only to be met with the ceiling of the house, my camera was locked and the only way to look straight was to lightly hold L2. Great gameplay! Tried reinstalling but nothing worked. Switched to mouse and keyboard, and while I could see straight gameplay was stiff and flowless. Seldom is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it was fun until they changed being able to select the same character multiple times, now everyone has to be unique characters. also people leaving games and then youre joining losing games during endgame and no ones being punished for it so people stop playing

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Funny as heck and a good laugh with friends. Make sure you know your randoms are friends and try not to hit them. MY BAD was a noob
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ya this game is a cool concept and plays great but the community sucks and its hard to even find a fair lobby. its usually kids just looking for 6v2s and if you don't do that, they kick you because they don't have quick matches that work yet so you have to join someone's actual lobby they made. needs some work, hopefully they do work on this

Dont listen to the negative reviews. (I have this game on another account; reason for the "low playtime"... none the less, ive watched videos, streams and played countless hours) I do think its lacking in Multi-player... joining in on games half way through then being booted back to the main menu; just to try join or find another lobby thats…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I saw this game on YouTube about 7 months ago it had matchmaking mode but these days it doesn't have. There are some servers but many of them are private and active players are decreasing day by day. It would have been so much fun if it had matchmaking mode like before

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has potential, but reading many of the steam comments and playing the game myself the devs obviosly solved a few challenges badly (would have written them on Discord, but DC wont get my phone number and otherwise you cannot write there - feel free to let them know these points!): - do not divide your player base further in an early access game (multiple game modes). This might help to catch attention, but basically you have to please more different subgroups, cutting your development…

A game that somehow manages to take a concept that could actually have been really fun and turn it into something that feels like a group project where nobody in the group even wanted to participate in the first place.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is very fun to play but I wish they would do a sell on the game so I can buy copies for my friends, I'm just grateful I can play it on my pc.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very interesting concept. A symetric attack/defense of the teams house, protecting valuables. as the game progresses you get more resources allowing you to get bigger and better defenses and attacking weapons. Only issue ive found as an Australian player is there are plenty of lobbies but zero in Aus/Asia, leading to awful ping issues.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun party game. wish joining your friends was easier. Can be buggy when trying to make a lobby and it has crashed multiple times, but it does have good content playing with friends and it is very engaging.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Removed content on release, so they rug pulled the people who paid for the beta. Then made it free without the content they worked hard on. Trash Game. Trash Devs.

I've never had a more frustrating matchmaking experience, lobbies constantly DCing, no option to chose game mode for quick matching. people joining and leaving constantly, getting thrown into a lobby and game autostarts so I can't pick my character, finally spawn into the game with 3 opponents in my face bashing me before I've even landed my feet on the ground. So why am I recommending this disaster of a lobby experience? Because when…
