How it feels

A hyper-kinetic arcade shoot-em-up with rhythmic pulsing visuals and sound that escalate the tension as invaders adapt and the scoreboard looms.

What players say

Players love the fast-paced revamp, but nearly every review warns about the required online connection. The game will not launch offline, which frustrates Steam Deck owners. Some also report that high scores fail to register, undermining the competitive point. A few note it has less content than the DS original and warn about intense flashing.
