How it feels

A frantic, throwback shooter that feels like a punishing descent into a chaotic, gory sci-fi hell.

What players say

Players praise the unique gunplay with weapon degradation and jamming, but the game suffers from frequent crashes and some translation issues. The campaign is short, and while the gore is visceral and satisfying, the level design can be confusing and the platforming frustrating.
