How it feels

A gritty 3D side-scrolling adventure with strategic hack-and-slash combat in a post-apocalyptic setting.

What players say

Players admire the ambition of this 2D sci-fi Metroidvania but are held back by poor English localization and a trojan false positive in the launcher. Many cite stiff controls, broken UI above 1080p, and repetitive fetch quests as dealbreakers, while a niche group defends its skill system and soundtrack.
