What players say
What I found here was a silky smooth vehicle shooter which was a blast in co-op. It's relatively simplistic but the run is structured well, and you get a sense of power increase. A little overpriced normally, you can get it on a deep discount and have some fun with your friends.

Very fun arcade tank game, really need more players though. Got it on a steep discount, did not realise it's original price was soo high. For 3 squid, it's a great deal.
I played both VR and flat, good game for both although I would like the VR version to have a graphic upgrade.
