What players say

Players praise the fusion of boomer shooter action with metroidvania progression and the heavy metal soundtrack, but split on the polish. Some find it clunky and boring, while others enjoy the atmosphere and fast pace. Common complaints include enemy respawning, no map, and difficulty spikes.
