Fast team-based one-shot-one-kill shooter. Cold War gave a start for a huge conflict in space. Grab your knife and pistol, turn on your force-field and fight in the name of your motherland. But is it possible to survive for more than ten seconds in this slaughter?

This brings a variety of styles from my young days of 007: Goldeneye to today CSGO. The one shot one kill idea brings the fact skill, speed, and accuracy will make you or break you.

No Microtransactions, $10.99, and the Devs have said more updates and additions are coming. Graphics are already exceptional.

Fell free to watch my review and see the gameplay:

Wonderful game!, Had it in my wish list before it was released and I managed to get my hands on it and its pretty decent, I haven't found players playing it but its an amazing game even just against the NCP's, I really REALLY recommend this game, and could be worked on, I found some issues tho, with spelling and stuff but otherwise the game is amazing. The NPCs/Bots could be way better in a lot of ways, buts its fine

This game is awesome. I liked the level designs and the character model is great, you get skins only if you are the one who won. The one hit thing makes this game fast and instant respawn makes it even better. Your weapon will be a normal pistol or space pistol but its basically the design difference nothing else and you also have a knife. You can also protect by using the shield activated by right click.
Overall this is a great game. Needs more player ofcourse. But Pubg has taken the major part of multiplayer by storm which is resulting in slow or no growth in other or specially i would say the indie multiplayer games.
Still I hope that this game is recognized by people.

Overall a very fun, fast paced shooter. Provides some very tense shootouts. not many people online at times but im sure it will grow as it matures. And honestly games that only have 4-5 people are still so quick paced that I dont know if i would wanna join a server that has more. has a slight learnign curve getting your dpi and sensitivity set right. but once you do it can be pretty rewarding.

Lots of fun. Great Sci-Fi FPS.

Great aesthetics and cool maps. Love the "Spaceman" characters and looking forward to more weapons, loadouts, and different spacesuits!

Devs need to change some controls, they are helpful and working on it.

Reasonably priced for what you get. Even better on sale!!!

EDIT: The Devs changed some of the controls - now it is easier for me to play! Lovin' it...

Good game but it does not have a big community at the moment. If you join multiplayer you will barely meet 2 players. Cool idea. However , there is no one to play with.

If this game will not increase in populariry and players , then you are kind of wasting your money since single player does not exist also ( I don't think there is a point/reason anyway for adding a singleplayer mode to this game ).

Hopefully this game will get some popularity because it is not bad.. It just lacks community.

Would give an 8/10 regardless since the game has one of the coolest ideas( somehow like QUAKE but better a bit). More maps and more players and this will be probably one of the best games. ;)

Peace !

Was looking for a new game to play for when I was bored of CSGO for a shooter. At first I was very skeptical of this game as I have never heard of the dev's before but from the screen shots the game looks amazing. It was only at the time priced a little over 2 dollars and I had just sold a pair of gloves in CSGO so I thought what the hell. Now at first the game will be a little laggy and glitchy but after the game settles in after a few seconds its smooth, and as far as the gameplay I was very surprised as to what I was playing. 1 shot 1 kill or 1 hit melee with little perks to pick up ingame. This game actually is pretty fun and intense at times and doesn't take too long to figure the game mechanics out to start playing ok/well against other players. 1st place will always win a prize for the character loadout: Helmet, Suit, Jetpack, Pistol, Melee and so on. get it while its still on SALE to check it out and help populate the game by telling your friends.

This is my first review. I felt impalled to make it because of just how bad I felt after playing this game. If you are even considering buying it, DONT! I joined 2 games with the same people in it. The guns are inaccurate, and the movement is clunky. I really hope this wasn't a team that developed this, cause if it was, its pretty sad. Def not worth the money, even on sale.

For a game that came out just over a month ago it's pretty fun. There are some pretty obvious holes in the game such as the dashing, and double jumping (Due to no animation on screen, you just teleport to wherever you dash) but you can't really blame poor development because it's so new. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot more content in the coming months that will really boost this games popularity.

Only few suggestions I have for it is perhapse having player based servers so you can cut down the cost of the game, and to just keep on going with content. Larger maps would be nice too.

My favorite aspect of instagib games, such as Cold Space, has always been the seemingly equal relationship between skill and glory, so to speak. As the only member of my team, I finished a game against three opponents up around 20 points or so. If you're good at FPS games, if you can do better with higher sensitivities, and if you like playing sniper classes, you'll do well with Cold Space. If you find yourself relying on support fire from teammates, if you tend to use rapid-fire weapons or shotguns, or if you have a tendency to rage, avoid this game like the plague.

9/10 overall, animations could use some work

It's not a terrible game and It's not a good game either. It's fun but there's not a whole lot of content. It's also not the first of its kind. There's a lot more better and fun versions of this game, but their so damn expensive. Take “Quake Champions” as an example, this is a really fun game that is very similar to “Cold Space” but Quake Champions is a $30 (£21.74) game while Cold Space is usually $11 (£7.97). Now at the current time of this uploaded review the sale for Cold Space should be going on for the price of only $2 (£1.45). I would highly recommend this game for $2 (Which is how much I got it for) but just barely recommend it for $11. If you like games in which you run fast and shoot players then this game is definitely for you.

feels like an early access title.

the maps are small and feel like little thought was put into them, the movement doesnt feel that great, and i dont think the game runs on dedicated servers so host advantage is very much a thing. (dev confirmed it does run on dedicated servers so i guess it was just a bad case of hitbox gore)

i refunded it but if it gets better i may re-buy it. i like instant kill arena shooters but this needs some work.

Not a $10+ game.
This game has barely anything in it other than alot of potential that isnt being capitalised on.
If the devs add more items, a better layout, different weapons other than a one-shot pistol and less laggy servers, i will return to this game.
But in its current state, this game is as good as free to play.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

Not many players. Barley any. Also the bullet impact time is very delayed. Extremly under devolped. Seems too early for an early access release.

It's a ok game it's fun and all but i have seen and played better/variations like quake or unreal tournament. You should not buy it for 10 dollar but for something more alike 5 dollars. if your good at hitting small hitboxes, i'll guess you be pretty good at cold space

There isen't really much content right now just the game and the options to customize your hero

Although this is a fairly new game, it's actually alot of fun! I was surprised when I got this game
I thought I would end up refunding it straight away but now I really like the game and even bought it for
my friend so he can play with me!

Also I bought this while it was on sale for $2.74 . the full price is a little much though.

Game has a pretty small player base right now. Only been able to play with a max of 4 people (once.)
But despite being that rare for me, it is a blast.

I see potentional in this game, what it mainly needs atm is more players.

Slav Nye the Blyat Guy

Haven't played for to long but I can say that while the servers may be empty it means you can play with your friends. However one complaint I have is the ping which has a HUGE effect being that this is a game about being as accurate as possible while on the move. Also needs V-sync. Also the devs
listen to their playerbase.

Abdhul Komirune

Well made game.
Although I can't aim very well this game is very fun to 1v1 friends in. The devs are working on new content everyday and I feel that this game doesn't get enough attention from others.
Pros: Good controls, simple objectives, fun gameplay, satisfying kills, interesting items.
Cons: Not many players, not many maps at the moment.
So if youre looking to buy this game id very much recommend it cause the one of the big things that this game needs now is more players.
For the devs of the game: I think everyone can agree that the game needs more maps and you might need to consider sponsoring a big youtuber or just sending them your game just for publicity.
For the price 9/10

I've played various instagib games since 2006 and seen them all die way too soon. Like always, I was very excited about finding a new instagib game, hoping this might be the new thing bringing instagib back to competitive gaming. I played the game for few minutes only to realize that will most definitely not be the case with this game.

- Can't change almost any settings, including crosshair size, fps, refresh rate. I'm surprised you can even change sensitivity.
- Movement is horrible. You have dash and double jump and whatnot, that makes you look like you teleport/lag.
- Hitboxes are bad
- Graphics are quite cheap and run pretty low frame rate even on the lowest settings with GTX 1060 / i5-4460.

Played the game for a short time and met only 2 players in the game, and that was in US server (I'm from Europe) where I had 200+ ping which made it impossible to enjoy the game.

I know it's new game and all, but I honestly don't see any potential for this game. This should cost 0,99€ and even then I think it might not be worth it. At least I'm refunding right now.

I highly reccomend this game but there is one problem no users and the AI (artificial Intelligence) aka. bots doesnt shoot and they sometimes get stuck. Ill give it 8/10.

Only drawback is lack of people and maps. try to grab it on sale if you can.

This is a good game in general. There are bugs and it's a bit straightforward and simple, but it's not a problem. The game isn't exactly orgasmic but the graphics are pleasing to the eye at least. It's fun to play with (preferably against) friends, and if you don't, it gets boring. The bots never shoot at you and instead they chase you around like zombies with their knives forcing you to run around like a monkey. The one shot kill thing is definitely a good feature rather than a bad one, especially for dealing with the pesky AI. It should also be noted that you unrealistically explode into a bloody pulp when hit. The shield doesn't even work and it stays in place where you used it rather than following your arm's position. The character customization is on point and it's easy to get items.

To summarize, the game is honestly good, even with the few flaws here and there.

If you like FPS and space, this game is a no-brainer. Core gameplay is great, lots of items to customize your character (cat suit FTW) and devs are very responsive and welcome to suggestions! Maps have jumppads and you can fall out into space and die. Sliding and jetpack jumps - I mean what more can you want?! As many many many others have said, this game needs a consitant playerbase to really set it off. Get it and tell your friends to get it.

THE GAME IS COMPLETELY DEAD
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

JabettKenne
JabettKenne

Servers are dead, but even then the bot fights are fun as fuck, and with unlockable helmets like the c4tf4ace, how can you say no? I cannot recommend this 1 shot 1 kill pvp game highly enough, the only problem I have is high latency, but there's only bots about, so what does it matter?

Theonian
Theonian

The movement is extremely floaty and sluggish. Can't change FOV. Pretty ugly and messy visuals (looks nothing like the promotional screenshots). Not worth the time.

Arrythmia

While the mechanics and overall gameplay in this game are absolutely awesome, there is quite literally maybe 2 or 3 players on at a time, with most matches being filled by bots. It's one-hit-kill-double-jumping-crouch-sliding bliss, really, but just doesn't have anyone playing it regularly enough.

With as small of a community as this game has, a truly lag-free offline/local mode would be nice, providing options like number of bots and map selection right inside the menu.

I want to recommend this game, I really do. For the price I paid (on sale for $1.29) I would if there were people playing, and if the bots weren't just as laggy as the one guy on the other side of the world that shows up in your match.

EDIT: Because this review is right at the top, I want to say that I wish this game would pick up. But it's been out for a few months and has had a maximum of 11 players on at one time. It's highly underappreciated, but needed to be advertised better and priced accordingly.

The initial price of $10 was a bit steep for the small amount of content that was included. The level of production is definitely good, and it really has potential, but there's just not a playerbase. Like Ratz Instagib, Reflex Arena, or Toxikk, the true arena shooter is a dying breed and hard to sell. Even Quake Champions has a miniscule player count these days. I hope the devs read this and understand what I mean. The game is great, but the genre is hard to revive and maintain.

DOUBLE EDIT: I've outright deleted this game from my library. There's nothing here.

This Game is a lot of fun even if you just play against bots, its a fun way to improve your skill and aim.
One massive downside is the playerbase. Theres not that many people playing the game but when it does I can imagine this being a very fun arena shooter.

Very fun. It has a lot of bugs, but given it came out recently, I can't complain. I think it has a lot of potential.

Basically a copy cat of Ratz Instagib in my opinion. Me and my friends played it and experienced the whole game in less than 5 minutes. Would be better if there was more stuff to do and more stuff in it.

This looks like it was meant to be a sort of Quake 3 type game with low gravity.
There appear to be no players, so you have to enjoy fighting bots.
Map design is questionable and needs polish (example: spawning right next to a cliff which instantly kills you).
I find performance to be poor regardless of settings, using fairly recent hardware.
It is a little hard visually to tell the difference between teams.
Some odd bugs, like a headless space suit standing around.

It's a good game, but no one plays it. You can only play against bots for so long before it gets boring. Don't buy this unless you have 3-4 other friends to play with you.

This could have been a good game, but first of all nobody is playing it. You won´t find any matches and are doomed playing with bots in a training match.

Furthermore even with an high end rig (See my profile) the performance is really bad. Even if you set all graphics settings to low the performance is bad. It stutters and never runs fluently.

So in this case I will get a refund.
