How it feels
You limp through a claustrophobic, ruined industrial complex, desperately targeting limbs to survive and upgrade your exoskeleton one grisly piece at a time.

What players say
Players praise the limb-targeting system and sci-fi setting, but split on the combat: some find it rewarding after the moveset clicks, others call it slow and repetitive. Reviews commonly complain about confusing maze-like level design and punishing boss fights.
