What players say
Players call this a worthy follow-up to the 1992 Amiga classic, with multiple modes that build on the original's punishing difficulty rather than replace it. The solo developer is unusually active, pushing frequent updates and engaging with the community, but some fans of the original find the difficulty still unbalanced.
