How it feels

A frantic, neon-drenched arcade shooter where every moment is about dodging waves of enemies and racking up a high score with crisp twin-stick controls.

What players say

Players are split on Black Widow: Recharged. Some enjoy it as a faithful, fast-paced twin-stick shooter, while others are furious about a game-over screen that hides your score and menu graphics taken from a different game. Several note it runs poorly on Steam Deck and say the game has been abandoned without fixes.
