Exato Game Studios are so brazen about Guncraft’s influences that you could initially be forgiven for thinking that it is yet another Minecraft clone, trying to ride on the coattails of Mojang’s success while bringing very little to the table itself. However, I was happy to discover that Guncraft is much more than that, and it deserves to have far more people playing it than it currently has.
The things that Exato has done to make Guncraft different from its predecessors have made it a better game. Instead of a clone, they've stepped up and made an engaging game that lets you get your block-building and headshot fix at the same time.

This game is such a great shooter. It lets you create your own guns! It lets you create prefabs for use in battle, it lets you create maps, skins, etc. You can publish these creations to Steam workshop, and you can easily find new creations made by others.
You may find reviews saying that there's lag. All the lag issues, crash bugs, and other bugs have been fixed. The game is perfectly stable.
There's now more people playing the game, and quite a few great gamemodes to choose from. For example: Siege. It tasks each team with building a trebuchet, while trying to prevent the other team from doing the same. It's a game that could only work in Guncraft.
You may hear people raging about the graphics. Sure, it has no VFX settings, because there's nothing to adjust. You can adjust the FOV, and that's really all you need to do. There's nothing wrong with the menus, they're easily navigated.
If you want to know what your classes have equipped, head to the class editor, where everything is explained. The game is very well balanced, and all the weapons actually require skill to use, instead of the "OP guns" people rage about. If someone's doing good with a custom gun, it's because they have enough skill to hit the over-sized heads in the game.
The game is most certainly not a knock off, and it's much better than AoS. In AoS, everything is very easily destroyed. Thanks to a recent Guncraft update, things are harder to destroy, meaning that building gives you an advantage. The prefabs build quickly, and it's very easy to create maps with friends.
The game looks good(good for the purposefully old graphics), and I ran across no lag issues whatsoever. All the animations are good, and the game automatically adjusts resolution.
The server browser is easy to understand, and has options to order games by ping, GM, number of players, etc. There's a built in clan system, and a built in friend option for the non Steam versions.
The default maps are good, and new ones are added regularly. Given the option to play on custom maps as well as official ones, you'll never run out of new maps. The content creation tools are easy to use, and are easy to learn, meaning that you'll be building maps, guns, and other custom content in no time. Things are also very easy to share with workshop.
All in all, it's a great shooter that's limited only by your imagination. All of the bugs have been fixed, so don't be afraid to get the game!

Guncraft doesn't get high marks for originality--it's a pretty obvious mash-up and one that has been done before, albeit not as successfully--but the developers do layer lots of cool ideas onto the core ingredients they borrow from other popular games.
Guncraft is addictive and ambitious. Exato has achieved a real feat in utilising Minecraft’s template in such innovative ways. The potential for creativity and its pure gameplay should make Guncraft a hub of imagination once it becomes more populated and utilised.
Guncraft is a showcase of the future of first person shooters. Unfortunately all the freedom is heavily inhibited by uninspired choices and unoriginal visuals.
While I had fun running and gunning through diverse and destructible levels in Guncraft, the poorly implemented building component fails to make it stand out from the pack.
This game is Ace of Spades but good.
I don't see why everyone hates this game so much, i have never crashed once, and the game is balanced.
They have already stated that GFX options are on the way, so stop whining about it.
My ONE problem with the game is the fact that EVERYTHING has to be approved. Custom Guns will be shot down if they don't look as good as some of the best default guns, same with skins.

Going to cut to the chase this game is good. There is a lot of variety and new things like hook shot and streak buffs that aren't in any FPS games that I've played. What makes me score this game an 7 and not a 9 is the current lack of players. But they will be putting this game on steam soon so hopefully there will be more than 14 players on. Being able to create your own maps, skins and guns will keep this game fresh and give it longevity.

Very disapointed in this game. Had high expectations and after 2 hours of trying to find something to hold on to the gameplay just got so boring. The game is almost like a ripoff AceOfSpades accept way worse.
Buyer beware this game will make you sorry you bought it. The combat is not even fun and neither is the gun making...I would avoid this Game or wait until the game goes on sale for a dirt price.

Guncraft is simply an attempt to cash in on Minecraft's success. This game looks terrible and plays horribly. The interface is confusing and difficult to navigate. It feels like an attempt to combine Minecraft and Call of Duty which has failed badly. Do not buy.

Do NOT buy this game.
Do not throw your money on the wind. Graphics in this game like in games from 1999, there is no even screen resolution settings (no graphics settings almost just FOV and Fullscreen, that's all). Fonts are awful also.

Summary Guncraft is a voxel first person shooter that boasts fully destructible environments, the ability to construct individual blocks or full structures in a single click, tons of killstreak rewards such as helicopters, jetpacks, bunker buster missiles, drones, and turrets, and a fully featured map creation tool that also features a Minecraft...
