How it feels
A fast-paced, top-down shooter blending retro techno-fantasy aesthetics with linear levels, heavy gunplay, and godly thunder skills.

What players say
Players describe it as a rough Diablo-inspired hack-and-slash with a stamina system that feels punishing. The controls are widely panned, and a save-corrupting softlock ruins the ending for some. Short, mostly bug-free, and held back by repetitive combat and shallow RPG elements.
