the ♥♥♥♥ was this game?

There's a few reasons as to why people rate this game bad, and "pay to win"

MicroVolts Breakdown:

-Weapons.

There are tons of free weapons ( ACME Cannon, KW 79, Hornet, Hunter, Mimic and so forth.) that are easily capable of beating the best paid weapons (Hermes, Gabriel, Zeus etc.) If you simply know how the game is played. Many of the steam users, who aren't in touch with the real community are playing WRONG. In order to get any satisfaction out of this game, one must learn things such as wavestepping, swapping, game rules (CSD, EXA, etc.) and more. Half of the "random kicks" that happen are because you joined someones CSD/EXA room with unwarranted weapons.

CSD:
Only certain weapons are allowed here, all of which are "free" (can be obtained using the ingame free currency.)
These weapons are:

Steel Hammer
Mad Wrench
Chainsaw

Pepper
Sherlock
Hornet

KW-79
Driver
Bombard

Sea Eagle
Hunter
Venom

(MG is not used in csd)

(Only the basic bazooka, Sting Ray is allowed)

Pulse
Exile
Thunder.

Joining with these weapons will guarantee you a fair free play with no paid weapons. Along with this, you may only use (Kai, Naomi, Pandora, Chip, Knox) in CSD. But to compete with the other players, you should learn;

Without this technique, you wont get far at all in this game.
