How it feels

A satirical, fast-paced beat 'em up with bright cartoony visuals and lighthearted cooperative action.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a competent beat 'em up with hand-drawn animation and a satirical take on pandemic-era politics, but many find its 3-hour story too short. Combat gets repetitive with limited moves, and some boss fights feel unbalanced. The weapons are a standout feature, though players wish they were more central.
