What players say

Players describe EXE: Mainframe as a polished wave-based bullet hell twin-stick shooter with a strong Tron-inspired visual style and a good soundtrack. They appreciate the tight controls and the active dodge with remote detonated bombs, though one reviewer notes gamepad support is limited.
