What players say
extremely fun, another dosman games banger, if you like condemned criminal origins, 80's slashers, or mucking about in the filth in your grimy gnarly gory shooters, it hits all the right spots, stays interesting aesthetically the entire time introducing something new every level and it actually gets pretty hard the later you get in the game, def recommend

pretty fun "boomer shooter" (doom-like) first one i've played in a while too. I like the comic strip style to tell the story as well. not something you see often in games anymore. John Carpenter vibes may be slightly present
I'm the Trashman! I come out, I throw trash all over the ring! And then, I start eatin garbage!
