What players say
I spent more time in the main menu than the actual game because the music is so peak
System Shock + hotline miami + nostalgia vibes. Rouglite elements, simple game, difficult but easy, great game, hidden gem. Something about the destruction of the level and satisfying death of your enemies with almost flash game esque opponents makes this game so silly and satisfying. Waking up from a new pod, different classes that change>??. I mean this game does alot better than modern games.
Game is kinda fun to play. Unfortunately, doesn't work with Gamesir or Xbox Wireless Controller on Mac. I just wish developer would fix issues like this. And not leave me doing troubleshooting for something that should really just work.
