How it feels

You frantically dodge bullet hell patterns while strategically placing upgrade nodes to customize your attack in a desperate fight to push back endless waves of abyssal monsters.

What players say

Players praise the inventive bullet tech tree and build synergy, but call the early game poorly explained and the UI ugly. Difficulty jumps mean some bosses become a slog unless you luck into the right upgrades. Bugs, lack of controller support, and sparse content at version 0.0.2 keep it feeling like a demo.
