How it feels

Like a frantic arcade shooter where you laugh at absurd dialogues while dodging overwhelming enemy waves.

What players say

Players compare it to Smash TV and Robotron, with fast action and one-hit-kill difficulty that some find unfair. The campaign is about three hours long, and reviewers are split on whether the repetition becomes tiresome. Co-op is widely recommended over single player.
