How it feels
A crisp retro arcade shooter with a straightforward power-up system that rewards timing beam attacks while managing a depleting energy gauge.

What players say
Players praise its dark, surreal atmosphere and the memorable laser-duel mechanic, though they agree it is very difficult. This is a port of the Sega Saturn version, not the arcade, and opinions split on how well it runs on Steam Deck.
