What players say
Honestly really enjoyed this one. Constant action, running and gunning , trying to survive. Plus it's very cheap too. Get yourself a buddy and enjoy playing this together.

Still a great game for what it is. If you like games like Crimsonland you should try this. Controls well with keyboard and mouse but also with a gamepad. Works fine on Microslop Windows 11 and Steam Deck, co-op is still possible too. The game only crashed once when I alt-tabbed to desktop on Win11.
most entertainment i've had for under $3 since i met your mother. both are quite primitive though.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
