How it feels

A fast-paced, punishing roguelite shooter where short runs and a trash-talking protagonist keep the tone light despite frequent deaths.

What players say

Players praise the tight combat and rewarding grind but warn that the first boss can be a wall and melee damage is punishing, made worse by the lack of a dodge or interrupt during reload. Builds rely heavily on luck since interesting upgrades come randomly from chests, not level-ups.
