What players say

Players enjoy the game's simple mix of FPS and tower defense in randomized arenas, but nearly all agree it lacks content and feels repetitive. Many call it abandoned by the developers, and controls are criticized for being stiff. Players split on recommending it: fair for the low price, but not worth more than a few short sessions.
