How it feels

A chaotic, retro arcade blast through waves of alien invaders with simple run-and-gun action.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, dated beat-em-up from Sega's arcade era that mixes side-scrolling brawling with occasional rail-shooter segments. It is often bought as part of a collection rather than alone, and local co-op is recommended. Opinions split on whether it holds up, with some calling it mediocre compared to Golden Axe or Streets of Rage.
