How it feels
Top-down alien blasting with frantic combat, gory spectacle, and weapon upgrades that feel satisfyingly explosive.

What players say
Players are split on Shadowgrounds, with many criticizing the lack of mid-level saving and the repetitive, fetch-quest structure where NPCs constantly nag you. The combat and weapon upgrades have their fans, but the game is frequently called dated, with poor weapon balance, a weak story, and an anticlimactic finale.
