What players say

Players describe an arcade-style AC-130 drone defense game with satisfying explosions, but nearly all agree content is very thin: no campaign or zombie mode exists, only survival, and most finish everything in 2 to 8 hours. Performance lag spikes when the screen fills with particles. Long-time players following from early access note updates are slow but have improved the game over time.
