Supposedly this is a part of a bigger project,but we'll see what the future brings.
Cons:
For now it feels very unpolished.
The game's menus are in 3 languages, for me, right now - Polish,English and Russian.
Optimisation isn't best.Despite closed environments the framerate jumps as crazy.
There's 7 classes to pick from, right now,but some of them seem to be unbalanced and some of them can mow others down in a matter of seconds(maybe due to the enhancements you can choose for every character(but it's too early for me to tell for sure).They're restricted by your account's level).
Matchmaking isn't always fair and you can face the enemies with much higher level than yours.
Pros:
It's got a nice base to build on.
Doesn't seem to be pay to win.You can earn the currency by playing or buy it,but there's nothing boosting your character's performance you can buy.
No lootboxes!
Doesn't look bad for a free to play game.
Some interesting game modes.
For now it's a 60/40(positive/negative) rating.Mainly due to a lack of balance,which leads to very frustrating matches.The 2nd biggest complaint for me is a mediocre optimisation.
I still recommend it.Try it out.It's free and it's only 3.8 GB to download.

Few hours into the game are enough to have a good picture.
+++Gameplay, not pay to win, no grinding at all, simple
---Optimization, content (maps, game modes)
In detail:
Gameplay: 9/10 It's amazing actually
Character customization: 4/10 (for now) only some skins and skills
Pay to win: Not really, you can earn credits to buy skins and unlock
some skills that dont make you overpowered in any way
Optimization: 5/10 You must sacrifice a lot of stuff even for a moderate pc
Community: Mostly russians
Story-Lore-Character's backround: None
Maps: 2
Game modes: 2
Ranked mode: Yes
Voice acting: Mehh
Average game time: 6-10 minutes
Average time for matchmaking: 1 min for normal, 3 for ranked
What this game needs: more maps , more game modes better optimization and some voice acting , that girl gets on my nerves...
Conclussion : I recommend this game because it is simple, plain, easy to familiarize and fun most of the times.
If you want some lore, backstory, complex level up system and grinding, this game is not for you

I will recommend this game if you enjoy Overwatch, Paladins and TF2
but it full mech? I want some robot-like "Ghost in the shell" - a robot with a sexy body

Rather nice fast-paced shooter. I like the graphics and the level design. Looks very promising!
The game supports the English language, however the servers in the beta are located only in Eastern Europe and Asian part of Russia.

Don't let the Streamlined Appearance fool you!
CB has some massive depth that has been greatly desired for years and it can finally be found here.
Features of Note:
+Level progression that gives incentives for players who prefer to specify as a particular class.
(while remaining fair for those who would rather play multiple, or all classes. )
+Ability to customize your intended playstyle
+the ability to select your custom setups before matches begin, so no need for tedious selections while matches are happening.
-most of the UI is well translated, even the announcer's voice is in English, but the negative is for fairness that some instructions are not 100% clear. which has to do with selecting the custom abilities. and my next negative
-there is supposed to be a way to create 3 loadouts for custom setups, which can be swapped mid match.. but the game does not allow me to "purchase" them, or state how to unlock these at all. (maybe its a future feature awaiting update, but i want this to be a fair review)
++I could list a lot of things i like about this game, especially because I've been looking for games i can actually enjoy playing as a "healer". so will say a few here, but this section is more opinion based.
the game seems fairly well balanced to me, even as i've been leveling up and reached top 300 in one of the modes before lvl 14. and level 20 is when pretty much everything is unlocked. (all the free stuff) there is only 1 ability in the game that can "Oneshot" that i have seen, and despite my personal distaste for OS, it takes skill and concentration to pull off and saw tactical situations arise to counter the abilities, encouraging teamplay and player competitiveness. so imo it is quite balanced, even if some older reviews say it wasnt.
+CB also is seeing regular updates, which is a great sign for me. although its okay if others find that a subjective note.
+I've dabbled in FPS games with RPG elements since CSwarcraft mods lol and have tried the newer games such as Overwatch, QuakeChampions, Paladins & personally am finding more enjoyment from CityBattle than i did playing those.
&&I really dislike comparing "works of art" with or against eachother, but i realize "we live in a society..."
ill wrap this up, cause i wanna play now.
-most players atm are currently RU speaking only
+western europe is about to open on the worldmap & more promotion for English speaking audiences is planned for the near future <3
