No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Great action game! Very addictive and fun. If you like 80s action movies and simple well-made shooting games this one is fantastic. It feels like a great old-school arcade game.
