How it feels

You sweep top-down arenas of undead with bright graphics and an atmospheric soundtrack, ticking off kill quotas level by level.

What players say

Players are split on controls: melee scythes work well, but the lack of twin-stick aiming makes ranged combat frustrating. The game is hard and punishing, with one reviewer calling it 'doom in 2d' and another warning crashes when stepping on spikes or hitting trees with the scythe.
