How it feels

A chaotic, over-the-top sci-fi shooter where you fuse with animal genes and blast aliens with heavily customized guns, feeling fast and messy in early access.

What players say

Players call it a Contra-like bullet hell with smooth movement and deep buildcrafting. Bosses are very challenging, co-op turns chaos into fun, and the soundtrack is a highlight. One review warns of frustration over no rebindable controls.
