How it feels

A relentless, cartoonish arena shooter where waves of absurd enemies explode in a blur of color and gore.

What players say

Players say it improves on the original by introducing new content faster and keeping the action fresh, though some find the horde grind tiresome after eleven hours. The gameplay is pure old-school shooting with no cover or reloading, and weapon switching against specific enemies feels natural. Enemies like kleer skeletons draw particular hate, while the soundtrack earns praise.
