How it feels

A frantic, arcade-inspired martial arts brawler where you grab whatever's lying around to survive waves of enemies.

What players say

Players call it a polished Vampire Survivors clone with an 80s martial arts theme, comparing it to Jackie Chan films. The combat relies on timing and movement rather than ranged attacks, and early runs can feel punishing until upgrades are unlocked. Some say it loses appeal quickly, and long-time players note development has stopped.
