How it feels

A frantic, no-frills arcade action game where you jump into procedurally generated levels, blast enemies, and try to survive with permadeath.

What players say

Players are split: some call it an asset flip with stolen assets and too few maps, while others praise the developers' constant updates, smart enemy AI, and procedurally generated battlefields. A lack of Chinese language support and story mode is noted, but there are also reviews that call it a decent top-down shooter for quick sessions.
