What players say

Players are split on this retro FPS. Some enjoy the short 2-3 hour campaign as a tribute to late 1990s shooters like Chasm: The Rift, with a unique visual style and soundtrack. Others criticize the frustrating enemy encounters, clunky weapon handling like the minigun's slow spin-up, and control issues with mouse filtering and acceleration that require workarounds.
