What players say

Players praise this free co-op top-down shooter for expanding the original game with more maps, weapons, and mod support via Steam Workshop. The fast-paced action demands teamwork, with many noting it shines with friends and gets repetitive solo. The community remains active and the game is still updated, though visuals are dated.
