How it feels

A frantic, retro-styled run and gun shooter with a gritty post-apocalyptic atmosphere and fast, arcade-like combat.

What players say

Players fondly remember the game but report it is effectively dead, with empty lobbies, bots instead of real players, and a development stalled since around 2017. Many call it the best 2D shooter of its time or compare it to a free 2D Escape from Tarkov, but agree there is no point in playing now.
