Steam user reviews have passed 18,000 and sit at Mixed. Thousands of players split into robbers and police in one city, and basic play is free with in-app purchases.","whyItMatters":"The player count shows the extraction shooter formula still pulls a crowd when it is paired with a crime-city premise and a free entry point, even while the Mixed review score points to solo and beginner balance and server problems that Kefir has said it plans to address during a 6 to 12 month early access period.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eKefir\u0026#39;s game puts both roles in player hands: robbers and police share a single city, and loot only counts if it survives the trip home. Players start with almost nothing, rob stores and banks, and sell what they obtain. A base can be built and upgraded to store loot and vehicles, and the more luxurious it gets, the more it draws raids from other players.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Steam page lists two server regions, Europe and US East, and no Japanese support. Kefir plans to add maps and game modes and improve matchmaking and communication stability during early access.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"ROB RUN's 200,000 peak arrived while Steam reviews sit at Mixed. Kefir built a free-to-play crowd first and a review score second; the early access period is where those two numbers have to meet.","twitterPost":"ROB RUN pulled roughly 200,000 peak players while its 18,000 Steam reviews sit at Mixed.
