What players say

Players compare this to Hotline Miami with a space Viking twist, praising the soundtrack and gadgets like shields and teleporters. It is short, around one to two hours on easy or nine on hard, and difficult even on low settings, with a 'one more try' loop. Opinions warn that a controller is not ideal, and enemies sometimes hear the player from across the level.
