How it feels

A fast-paced arcade shooter with cute pixel graphics and a mysterious sci-fi setting.

What players say

Players are split on this chaotic side-scroller: some enjoy the frantic shooting and cute giant monsters, while many find the combat too messy and the enemy knockback rage-inducing. Reviews consistently point to poor AI from allies and medic units, translation problems, and a game-breaking save bug that can wipe progress.
