After choosing a male or female and some newbie starting clothes, players are thrust into a tutorial to help them learn how to play. The control mechanics are quite similar to third-person games like
Gunz: The Duel or
BattleSwarm. The mouse aims and turns the character, while ‘W’,’A’,’S’,’D’ strafes; it's the typical third-person controls. Players primarily duel one another in several modes, including standard deathmatch, touchdown (like football where a team scores by putting the Fumbi ball in their opponent's goal post), and chaser ( a mode that consists of each player taking turns as the “Chaser” and must get as much score as possible, it’s equivalent to
Halo’s “Juggernaut”).
Each mode is fun in its own way but nothing particularly groundbreaking. Chaser is probably the most original mode on the game and is a good way to help players use a little teamwork and strategy for staying alive. Being that the game is an MMO, the actual gameplay is affected moderately by special skills and upgradeable stats but not quite as much as player skill.
For the most part the action is solid and players with twitchy-fingers and a good eye for keeping the reticule locked on an enemy will fare well within the game. It requires the typical third-person-shooting skill and relies very little on the actual level of a character to differentiate player efficiency. It's actually possible to get really high in level but still get owned pretty hard by a sharp-shooting newbie.
