What players say
Players describe it as a modern roguelite take on the arcade classic Defender, not Joust. They praise the retro visuals and Steam Deck performance, but warn that levels look the same, upgrades feel grindy, and some weapons or enemies are overpowered. The community is split on whether the requirement to replay from the start for the full ending is fair.
