How it feels

A proudly janky, low-poly spectacle fighter that feels like a chaotic, heroic brawl against hordes of lizards with a self-serious tone undercut by its absurd premise.

What players say

Players praise the Slavic memes and humor, but note the game has janky animations and enemies that feel overtuned, making it a tough souls-like experience. The survival mode gets brutal around wave 11, and reviews split on polish, some call it a funny cheap co-op romp, others mind the bugs.
