What players say
Players report the game is a broken VR wave shooter with no tutorial, no manual reload and broken controls on Valve Index and Quest 2. The story mode is about 25 minutes long, and some players cannot leave the first room. Players are split on whether the synthwave aesthetic and slow-motion dodge are fun enough to overlook the rough state.
