How it feels

It feels like a cheesy 90s arcade space shooter with frantic dogfights and a self-consciously goofy story.

What players say

Players praise the 90s-style soundtrack and retro space combat vibes, but warn that the controls are finicky and mouse sensitivity feels broken at default settings.
