How it feels

A fast arcade cover shooter with slow-motion takedowns that feels like a dark, violent cartoon.

What players say

Players call it a VR take on arcade shooters like Time Crisis and Virtua Cop. The teleport-only movement is a split point: some find it essential to the fun, others get motion sick and cannot change it. The campaign is short, around 2 to 3 hours, but the fast shooting, cover ducking, and score chasing keep people coming back.
