The drop-off

17% start to 4% rarest

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Decent fun, but the visuals are definitely something to get used to - not the most readable game with all the chaos. I suggest you put some gameplay in fullscreen before buying and see how your eyes react. Some color schemes are better than others, but still easy to lose track of crosshair.
