How it feels
Feels like a low-budget B-movie alien invasion where you blast endless swarms of giant bugs and robots with over-the-top weapons alongside friends, embracing silly humor and frantic combat.

What players say
Players call this a ridiculous, chaotic arcade shooter with hundreds of weapons and fully destructible environments. The online community remains active. A minority complain about bad weapon balance and a persistent low-sound bug.
