What players say

Players consistently compare this to Megaman X, praising the unlimited-use weapon system with cooldowns and the character choice, but many criticize floaty movement, a missing crouch, no control rebinding, and no in-game volume slider. Opinions differ on the story and whether the difficulty is fair or frustrating.
