How it feels
a methodical hack-and-slash grind where you click through waves of enemies in a side-scrolling spaceship, prioritizing gear optimization over twitch reflexes.

What players say
Players praise the soundtrack and the Diablo-inspired loot system, but they also cite repetitive procedurally generated stages, hard-to-see enemy bullets, and a slow start. The story ends abruptly just as it gets going, forcing a long grind for post-game content, and many find the gun designs unusable.
