How it feels

You pilot a tanky mech through twin-stick bullet-hell combat, ramming and blasting enemies in a chaotic power fantasy.

What players say

Players praise the retro 16-bit mech action with twin-stick shooting, a deep upgrade system, and intense bullet-hell boss fights. A standout feature is the ability to step out of the mech, though the pilot dies in one hit. Some note the voice acting is weak.
