How it feels

A relentless, high-stakes top-down shooter where every run is a desperate, procedurally generated fight for survival.

What players say

Players praise the combat but say the game is grindy and visually ugly. Reviews split on whether it is worth buying: some enjoy it for a low price, others feel it offers little beyond the first hour. Several warn that twin-stick controls are broken, so mouse and keyboard is required. Random crashes and a punishing save system are also common complaints.
