How it feels

An intense, hilarious local multiplayer archery brawl where simple controls mask deep, punishing combat.

What players say

Players love this as a local multiplayer party game, especially with four players. The versus mode gets high praise, but the co-op campaign is short and solo players find the achievements frustrating. Some compare it mechanically to Celeste, and note that hardcore difficulty can be punishing.
