How it feels

A chaotic arcade shoot 'em up with twin-stick controls, roguelike progression, and strategic tower defense elements against waves of alien pirates.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple tower-defense bullet hell take on Space Invaders with short levels. The core gameplay is straightforward but reviews split on value: some enjoy the pick-up-and-play loop, while others call it overpriced and criticize day-one DLC that offers extra characters and guns, calling it pay-to-win.
