How it feels

Frantic bullet-hell runs with nonstop action and constant upgrades, like a rogue-lite arcade blaster played at double speed.

What players say

Players are split on this top-down shooter. Some enjoy the upgrade grind and find it addictive, while others criticize the forced autoaim, lack of mouse support, and keyboard-only controls with no remapping. The campaign is short at around 4-8 hours, and several reviews mention poor translation and missing quality-of-life options like volume controls.
