DO TRY THIS GAME. -Intense -Challenging -Difficult -End is nigh here nor far -Totally Shoot em ups -Caution: Blood....Guts -Long way to end Been working on this software since 2015
This game is a solid arcade experience. It's fun, it's old-school, it's a great time killer and has some legitimately fun achievements to try to hit. Worth the money, and worth your time.
