How it feels

A grim side-scrolling action adventure set in a post-apocalyptic dieselpunk world, with limited resources and tough combat against robotic foes.

What players say

Players praise the bleak atmosphere and pixel art but are split on the gameplay. Many find the combat clunky and unfair, with a parry that feels off-timing and difficulty spikes that cause 80% of players to quit at the first boss. A few find it balanced and enjoyable despite rough edges.
