How it feels

A relentless high-energy shooter where you blast through aliens with a loud arsenal and a metal beat, chaining weapons and a grappling hook for maximum carnage.

What players say

Players praise the tight movement, grappling hook, and retro action that evokes Broforce and Duke Nukem. The early access version is short but satisfying, with a built-in speedrunning mode. Some note performance issues on older hardware and a concern that updates may stall.
