How it feels

A frantic top-down shooter where you fight swarms of alien enemies through sci-fi environments under a time pressure.

What players say

Players are split on this trilogy finale: some find it the best entry with satisfying weapons and a brutal boss, but many others call it the weakest, citing repetitive locked-door fetch-quests, constant screen-shaking explosions, and a frustrating lack of polish that keeps the game from launching or crashes it.
