What players say
The game is a "wave base defense game" in which most of the levels you are defending 1 or 2 cities from being snatched up by whatever evil gangs that exists in the wasteland.

Starts off "so bad it's bearable" and the first person view sections are kind of interesting for a few minutes. Other than that it's trash and idk where I got this from. Feels like a mediocre, bug-filled game from mid 2000's XBLA.
My expectations were low for a $10 but I had some extra money in paypal so I figured, what the hell. The game was actually a pleasant surprise. It was a fun, Vigilante 8 style car shoot-em up. The levels get quite challenging. If you're looking to burn a weekend and have a spare 10$ then go for it.
