How it feels

You frantically dodge barrages of projectiles while greedily scooping up loot and stacking weird item combos, knowing one mistake will reset everything.

What players say

Players praise the art style but report persistent bugs, unclear hitboxes, and areas where the game becomes unwinnable. Many say development stalled, leaving collision issues and a softlock unfixed since early access. Veterans of Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne find the ideas familiar but the execution rough.
