How it feels

A quick strategic arcade raid that layers 80s nostalgia with modern item management and momentary luck.

What players say

Players call it a faithful homage to the 1984 arcade game Dragon Buster, with retro graphics and mechanics. The game adds a hunger system and randomized maps, but players split on the lack of a proper tutorial and default controller support, with some finding the difficulty well-balanced after learning the items.
