How it feels

A fast-paced, pixel-art top-down shooter with a retro feel and heavy action, where precise shooting and close-quarters combat dominate the battlefield.

What players say

Players say the game is extremely difficult even on easy, with bullet sponge bosses and swarming enemies. The anime art and weapon variety are praised, but the short story campaign and lack of controller support frustrate some. Stealth is nonexistent despite suppressed weapons being available.
