How it feels

A chaotic old-school shooter that feels like a relentless gauntlet of tricky maps and escalating danger, with satisfying weapon upgrades and leaderboard competition.

What players say

Players praise it as a fast, gory shooter that mixes roguelike progression with Doom-like action, calling it a hidden gem for VR. The gameplay loop involves clearing sectors within time limits while unlocking upgrades with a pinball-style multiplier system. A few note rough VR controls and a long loading bug, but most agree it delivers great value for a low price.
