How it feels

A stylish top-down action game with close-quarters combat, parrying, and time manipulation against mutated enemies in a cyberpunk dystopia.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and art style, calling it one of the best Hotline Miami-inspired games while noting it stands on its own with precise, fast combat and puzzle-like rooms. The difficulty is a major point, with many finding it punishingly hard, especially the final boss, and some quitting due to the challenge.
