How it feels

A frantic, looping slaughter-fest where you upgrade your rifle by killing more creatures, trading survival for the thrill of endless combat.

What players say

Players enjoy the tense atmosphere and satisfying shotgun feel, but many are frustrated by the inability to rebind keys and the unusual reload-on-mouse-wheel default. The game is praised as a fun short burst of action, though reviews note it runs out of content quickly and lacks visible upgrade stats or hit feedback.
