How it feels

A fast-paced, retro-style first-person shooter with low-gravity exploration and arcade-like action.

What players say

Players call this an odd 90s FPS with destructible voxel terrain and a standout guitar soundtrack. They split on the controls: some find them responsive and modern, others say the jump button and aiming create problems. The large open maps feel empty to some and the weapon system that resets between missions frustrates.
