How it feels

A frantic retro shooter that blends fast-paced gunplay with exploratory platforming through hellish, dark, and pixelated worlds.

What players say

Players call it a collectathon first and an FPS second, mixing fast shooting with exploring diverse, colorful worlds. They praise the ziplining, minigames, and campy voice acting, but note the shooter elements are just okay while the real draw is gathering shards and secrets.
