Minimum on the Steam store: 2 GB of memory, Intel 4400, GeForce GT 8800, AMD Radeon HD 4650, 2 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux.

In the mayhem-filled streets of the future where criminal gangs rule and cops fear to tread, only the bounty hunters can free the city from the corrupt fist of felony. Lay waste to the criminal underworld and make a killing in this hard boiled action comedy arcade shooter.

The value story

December 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $3.99. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 40 in the 5 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Bleed ($4.99, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Mercenary Kings: Reloaded Edition ($19.99, scores 26).

The press gave it 85; the people who bought it give it 95 percent. A 10-point gap in the buyer's favour.

This site sampled 509 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 810 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 20 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 6.2 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 29, 4.7 times as much.

At 6.2 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

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

Sick old school shoot em up, artstyle is amazing, sound design is literally flawless,bosses are a total highlight with a lot of character reminded me a bit on dead rising psychos at times,awesome setting and guns. I do think the control sheme aint perfect and it would have been nice to be able to map cover and melee on buttons. Overall probably among my favorite "newer" retro games along with SoR4
