What players say
Players praise its cyberpunk art style and visceral combat, but opinions split on the controls: some find them floaty and awkward, while others say the slo-mo dash is key. Many compare it to Hotline Miami and Katana Zero, noting it is tougher and more arena-based. Several flag excessive screen flash and no option to disable it. The game is short, best played with a controller.
