What players say
Players describe Cold Shell as a short cyberpunk beat 'em up with a fantastic retrowave soundtrack, often comparing it to Hotline Miami. The combat is fast and fun, though reviews split on the final boss, which many call unfair and poorly designed. Some note performance issues in busy areas.
