Agent abilities add an intelligent and integral layer to the game's tactical gunplay and make the whole experience feel distinct. A single character's abilities are rarely effective on their own ( with the exception of Reyna ), so smart play demands a higher level of coordination than other games in the genre. A good team that learns to consolidate can make unique and hugely satisfying plays, putting their Agent abilities together like puzzle pieces. The simple fact that any Agent can buy whichever guns they want also means that there is a wide range of playstyles to develop.

The 1.0 version only has four maps available at launch, and while each one is fun to play and learn, there's a high chance of getting the same map twice or more in a row. Strangely, there's also no ranked mode at the time of this writing. In fact, the only modes playable in the game right now are standard unranked and Spike Rush. Spike Rush is a shorter 4-round mode where everyone has a randomly selected gun and all attackers have their own bomb.
