A relentless, ultra-violent 2D shooter with fast-paced combat and pixelated gore, demanding quick reflexes and offering no mercy.

What players say
Players call it a 2D Doom with brutal difficulty and no hand-holding. It is short, around two hours, and each level has no checkpoints, so death means restarting. A paid easy-mode DLC exists for those who want a casual playthrough.
