Summary

It is a strong twin-stick shooter, It does have a decent upgrade tree and perks to change up the game flow. My only beef is that it all feels the same after a handful of levels. It is a simple-looking game with a simple game formula, Get guns, shoot and kill the boss. Ok so in short it’s a tight little package of a game with many good points, The music and repetitiveness of it all could grate but to be honest, it is still fun to play.
