How it feels

A fast-paced, intense side-scrolling shooter with retro pixel graphics and a relentless alien onslaught.

What players say

Players love the hybrid run-and-gun and shoot 'em up action, but mostly agree it is brutally hard even with the rewind feature. The port has minimal options, a weak CRT filter, and no keyboard rebinding on PC. Long-time fans compare it favorably to Turrican, though a few call the level design frustrating.
