E.T. Armies on the one hand should be applauded, not just for being one of the first games to be exported from Iran but for also for presenting us with a perfectly playable first-person shooter. The hammy dialogue, cliched character tropes and general familiar feel of the gameplay is easy to overlook thanks to some impressive run-and-gun action. However for anyone who is a veteran of the genre, some control issues, repetitive game design and a barren wasteland of a multiplayer mode will have you running back to Call of Duty before you’ve even come close to finishing the campaign.

E.T. Armies is a well-made indie FPS with a few caveats that occasionally detract from a mostly enjoyable experience.

This sure ain't no Max Payne or Doom. The first Iranian commercial game is a noble effort in the field of FPS games, but it unfortunately falls short in almost every aspect. The best way to describe the game is mediocre. [June/July 2016]

An old school FPS with some solid game mechanics, but too short to be suggested to every shooter lovers.

Sometimes it manages to tickle the pleasure center of the brain, but these moments are like grains of sand in the desert of low budget mediocrity. [05/2016, p.63]

E.T Armies is a FPS with classic vibes and very solid mechanics that, along with its difficulty, will be a challenge for every player. However, its limited weapon variety, its ridiculous AI and its short duration may ruin your experience.

I don’t particularly like this game. It’s very competent for what seems to be the developer's first game, but the FOV issues mixed with the poor gameplay mean I didn’t enjoy my time with it.
