Friends vs Friends

I have played this game since the beginning, and while it's a very On-and Off moments of gameplay, I always have a blast with my friends WHEN it works, the art direction is so vibrant and fun, the actual gunplay feels very nice, the music is great, BUT there's a massive glaring issue when it comes to this, which pains me to say "I can't recommend this to new players" that being the Lag, and the bugs, and the occasional crashes because of ANTI-CHEAT(I don't blame it for the current problems) this game will sometimes be stable and you're able to play 30 minutes with friends, or you're playing with your friends and massive lag spikes occur, and get you killed or another player killed, along with even readying a game with friends is a trial of its own accord, you can get caught into an infinite loop of "Server ERRORS" and spend the next 5-10 minutes trying to even start a game with friends, that is not to even mention you need to connect to a server to do ANYTHING. The server in this game is prone to losing connection, so the deck alterations you made? GONE, the decks you wanted to buy? TRY AGAIN LATER. and I have to reiterate I love this game, and it genuinely pains me to say, I can't say in my good conscience that new players should buy this, until the devs start fixing these problems, wait a bit.

most mediocre fps ive ever played like genuinely

great but unbearable to play online because everyone is better than you

This game has tons of style, a killer soundtrack, and mixing a deck-builder with a fast-paced shooter leads to some chaotic fun. Giving your opponents giant heads or swapping their guns mid-fight is hilarious when it works. But the fun hits a wall pretty fast due to annoying progression grinds, balancing issues, and a sweaty player base. If you don’t have a full squad of friends to play with, the matchmaking will probably just stress you out.

At its best its great game, truly, but.... 1. Its dead. 2. Its community is weirdly toxic. 3. Genuinely some of the worst balance I've ever seen in a head to head game. They nerf characters no one plays and build statues of characters everyone admits are OP. 4. If you are a new player there is no chance of you getting into this game, the skill floor has gotten so outrageously high because the only players left are like 10,000 hour weirdos who wait 20 minutes to queue into a match. 5. Net code is just super weird. There's a character who's gimmick is that they double jump, they're considered a pretty meta pick though because they fall through the floor constantly and are impossible to hit. Also I get wonky kill notifications telling me my teammate died to NULL every 35 seconds. Also there's card combinations that have like a 30% to black screen your game permanently. 6. The game is so unbelievably cringe in its dialogue, it wraps back around for me but like.... they have a character that says "Shout out to all my Discord fanssss!" Its weapons grade cringe. 7. The music is also incredibly bad, anyone who tells you they didn't mute it in less than one hour is a liar and a fraud. 8. The final reason you shouldn't buy it is because they might actually make it better if they keep not getting money for it.

"balanced mechanics" are apparently not important for video games

RUS: Предупрежу, из-за тех банов серверов cloudflare, надо запускать обходилки, чтобы сыграть в игру, есть руководства, игра нормально работала до банов серверов cloudflare. Friends vs Friends стоит только играть с друзьями и покупать по скидке, щас игра мертва с онлайном, хотя и выпустили обновление добавляющее 1 локацию в матчах и персонажа в виде енота-хакера? Friends vs Friends на момент 2023 до конца 2024 была классной игрой, а прайм у игры был в 2024 когда выходили такие обновы как Pixel Vision и Nerdvana, хотя я начал играть зимой 2023, поэтому не точно знаю про другой контент, но начиная с El Pelicano они забросили игру буквально на 2 года без обнов, то ли взяв на разработку игру про офисных клерков: Last Man Sitting, то ли речь была про другую игру. Боюсь у игры нету будущего и боюсь закроют такой прекрасный шутер с игральными картами, надеюсь, что они дадут возможность создавать свои локальные бои с друзьями. Но почему отзыв хороший, не смотря на то, что разработчики такие гады, что забросили игру, она подарила мне хорошие практически 40 часов, сами карты лучший гиммик игры, кто-то говорит, что это дисбаланс, но это буквально так устроены коллекционные игровые карты в игре, тем более какая-то будет точно имбовать, а какая-то в разных ситуациях нет. Игровые локации, лобби хорошо сделаны. Персонажи колоритные и классные, но не хватает описания их лора, графика и визуал лучшая часть игры. Также музыка - вишенка на торте. Плюсы: + Геймплей + Графика и визуал + Персонажи + Локации + Ивенты игры и их DLC + Возможность играть с другом Минусы: - Разрабы которые не выпускали обновления - Неотличный подбор игроков в матче - Мёртвый онлайн Стоит ли покупать игру - ваше усмотрение, но точно по скидке, т.к. игра стоит меньше 100 рублей, DLC просто открывают магазины, где ты выполняешь задание из разряда ( сделай 3 килла) и так по пути открываешь бонусы в виде скинов, оружие, брелки и заднее оформление для карт. ENG: Friends vs. Friends is only worth playing with friends and buying at on discount. The game is dead online now, even though they released an update adding one location to matches and a raccoon hacker character. Friends vs. Friends was a great game from 2023 to the end of 2024, and its prime time was in 2024, when we have updates like Pixel Vision and Nerdvana were released. Although I started playing in the winter of 2023, so I don't know for sure about other content. But starting with El Pelicano, they abandoned the game for literally two years without updates, either taking over development for a game about office clerks: Last Man Sitting, or maybe they were talking about a different game. I'm afraid the game has no future, and I'm afraid they'll shut down such a wonderful shooter with playing cards. I hope they'll give you the ability to create your own local battles with friends. But why is the review so good? Even though the developers are such jerks for abandoning the game, it gave me almost 40 good hours. The cards themselves are the best gimmicks in the game. Some say it's unbalanced, but that's literally how the collectible cards in the game are designed. Some will definitely be overpowered, while others won't be in different situations. The game's locations and lobbies are well-designed. The characters are colorful and cool, but there's a lack of explanation of their lore. The graphics and visuals are the best part of the game. The music is also the icing on the cake. Pros: + Gameplay + Graphics and visuals + Characters + Locations + Game events and their DLC + Play with a friend Cons: - Developers who haven't released updates - Poor matchmaking - Dead online Whether to buy the game is up to you, but definitely on sale, as the game costs less than 100 rubles. DLCs simply open stores where you complete missions like (get 3 kills) and unlock bonuses like skins, weapons, keychains, and card backgrounds along the way.
