What players say

Players remember it as their first PC game and buy it for nostalgia. The game is a simple arcade top-down shooter with tower defense elements, where you upgrade a robot, turrets and mines between waves. Some call the gameplay repetitive, a few note the game only runs in 4:3 and that a boss can respawn and instantly destroy the bunker.
