How it feels
A stripped-down, fast-paced twin-stick shooter that feels slick and responsive with satisfying arcade-style combat.

What players say
Players praise the smooth twin-stick combat and sound design, with balanced weapons and a solid difficulty curve. Some are frustrated by the slow launcher aiming, and several note the early access state means it is a bit barebones. A few mention the top-down view can make judging terrain awkward, and multiple reviews call for local multiplayer.
