A game that can be extremely good or just plain depending on how you play it. Read the full review to understand.
The best thing about exteel is the fact that lvls and stuff are a nice help in a mach, but a better player who just created a character can still bit a high lvl one. If your a kid or a noob that plays a game 8 ours a day to get the most advanced (1337) equipment, to then kill everyone without needing any kind of skill you will hate this game. Here from start basic lvl one you can beat an high lvl player, one on one. Its not easy but it is possible.
In the game you have about 2000HP(lvl one 3000 is a very high lvl player) with each shot doing about 100DMG if its a gun, 350DMG a sword (plus swords slow down/stun players), or 1000DMG if its a cannon (kinda like a sniper here). Its pretty hard to kill someone. Like robots battle you have to shoot and shoot again. I think its a good thing. Good amount of HP means tactics take place.
You can pop out of cover shoot about 2 times (if yo have 2 guns, one in each hand, it means 4 shots for 400 DMG) and return to cover. Seams simple or a chickens tactic, but well done its lethal and can let you hold your ground against 3 other players at the same time. To be done well you need to pop out and take hide just before the enemy shoots you and pop out seconds late from a different position. Thanks to the booster you can have amazing burst speeds which makes this possible. To the other player you come out from one place, shoot him and when he tries to shoot, you just take cover, and seconds later, he is being shoot again from another position. Most players just get confused and look disoriented. To them it is like your nowhere for him to shoot but your shooting him from everywhere.
I think exteel is a great game to play on your free time. If you play WOW or another MMO an want to get a more action oriented PVP without giving up tactics this is for you. Best of all equipment is nice but not decisive! Even from lvl one you can make a difference. At lvl 10 (fast lvling) you have some nice equip if you spend your money well. Its a good game to take a break from classic RPGs where lvls make a huge diference. Here you come kill or die :P and leave. Just plain fun.
