What players say
This game started off fun but there are a lot of crash issues. If you start a stage, it may randomly crash and you lose all progress. Wish there was some sort of autosave to prevent me having to redo stages constantly. You won't notice this issue until like 4-5 hours in and you can't refund, pretty frustrating.

gets very repetitive very fast and enimes simply get more hp and spawn in larger swarms instead of having anything new and the biomes are mostly re-skins that add more things to place without real depth ironically for the games theme crablins dieing is also very punishing since its permanent and entirely destroys the difficulty curve if you struggle once due to there not being a way to recover leaving you...
Good for a few hours of fun, after the first run though, i don't see the re-playability of the game. If its on sale, give it a go, complete the first run, and youve made your money in entertainment
