How it feels

A frantic local multiplayer arena shooter where players use stealth and dirty tricks in short, fast-paced matches.

What players say

Players praise the stealth mechanic as a fresh twist, but many say the game gets stale fast: matches are too short for hiding to matter, spawn camping is easy, and the visual clutter makes it hard to track action. Controller problems are reported, and players are split on long-term fun, with some finding it a quick party hit and others calling it shallow.
