How it feels
You move through levels with a tense, strategic focus, deciding whether to methodically hack your surroundings into deadly traps or charge in with guns blazing for explosive, chaotic action.

What players say
Players praise the inventive hacking system that lets them creatively chain traps and enemy abilities, though some find the controls a bit clunky at first. The soundtrack and retro neon visuals are consistently highlighted, while the gameplay sits somewhere between a twin-stick shooter and a tactical puzzle, with a difficulty that rewards both careful planning and quick reflexes.
