How it feels

You pilot a customizable mech through hordes of swarming enemies, constantly upgrading and evolving in real time to become an unstoppable force of destruction.

What players say

Players call it a competent but shallow Vampire Survivors-like with mecha and anime girls. It lacks map and enemy variety, has only three stages, and the permanent upgrades feel poorly balanced. Performance tanks when many enemies appear, especially on handhelds. Multiple reviewers note that updates stopped months after release, making it feel abandoned.
