It’s more fast paced than evade, I don’t mind the leveling system because I wouldn’t want noobs to start slinging toxic gas bombs all over the map at random without any strategy, and plus, it’s kinda ez to level up (albeit time consuming), so it doesn’t matter. Plus, why would you want a level 3 noob to gain access to some of the most powerful items? The game makes sure the players understand the basics of playing before giving them the good stuff.
