What players say
Players call this a faithful port of the 1990 Atari Lynx original, down to the cramped visuals and relentless enemy fire. It is a survival shooter where you tank hits with a shield, buy upgrades between stages, and push forward through sheer endurance. The Steam version adds saving, but lacks the original's four-player link cable support.
