What players say
Players control two characters at once, one with each hand, creating a unique coordination challenge. Reviews say it is tough but beatable in about 2-3 hours, with the dual-control mechanic causing deliberate disorientation. Some players find the mapping confusing, as the left character sometimes appears on the right side of the screen.
