What players say

Players describe it as Mega Man meets Doom or Returnal, with smooth performance and satisfying gunplay. However, many find the runs too similar after a few hours, and the long-term progression grindy. Players split on replayability: some enjoy the fast action, while others say it lacks the variety and hooks of similar games like Roboquest.
