How it feels

A frantic, time-pressured arcade brawler where you constantly scavenge weapons and adapt on the fly as a poisoned assassin.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Akane, often saying it is a downgrade. Combat feels slower, the combo meter replaces health, and the roguelite upgrades are shallow. Reviews split on whether the story adds value or drags the arcade feel down. Some praise the Steam Deck performance and weapon throwing.
