How it feels

You play as a three-armed bounty hunter in a stylish, hand-drawn sci-fi western, dashing through side-scrolling combat while unraveling a galaxy-wide conspiracy.

What players say

Players praise the combat and worldbuilding but criticize the sluggish controls and heavy inertia. The story ends on a cliffhanger that leaves some frustrated, and progression is linear with a basic skill tree.
