What players say

Players praise the clever twist of recruiting enemies instead of just killing them, and the extraction mechanic that carries resources between runs. Many note a steep loss aversion problem: every run can wipe out hours of progress, leading to intense frustration. Reviews split on whether the inventory and upgrade systems feel punishing or rewarding, and several call out UI clarity as a weak point.
