What players say
Players praise the lock-on missile system borrowed from RayForce, saying it feels satisfying and rewards movement. They note the game is easier than genre standards, though checkpoints divide opinion, some find them fine, others call them unfun. Many mention a graphically upgraded Switch version exists, which some see as a reason to skip the Steam release.
