What players say

Players describe it as a fast-paced arcade score-chaser with a unique battery mechanic and tactical enemy spawning. The game has four modes with boss fights and unlocks, though some achievements are broken. Reviews are split on depth, some find it shallow, others enjoy the skill progression.
