An impressive start
When it launched, the game attracted a very high number of players connected simultaneously, proof of the strong curiosity surrounding the project. This start shows that the anticipation was very real and that the developers' name played an important role.
A sharp drop in attendance
Despite this promising start, the number of active players quickly declined. Technical issues, criticism of the pace of the games, and the feel of the combat led some of the audience to abandon the game after only a few sessions.
Corrective measures already underway
Faced with negative feedback, the developers responded quickly by rolling out updates aimed at improving server stability and overall performance. Further adjustments are planned in response to criticism from the community.
A game to watch
Highguard is going through a difficult phase, but its story is far from over. With serious monitoring and targeted improvements, the game could still turn things around and find its place in the highly competitive world of multiplayer FPS games.
