On the ground level, it's ok. A freeware third-view shooter, with randomly generating levels, some progression, some variety... Some challenge, even! There are melee opponents that are trying to thrust you, some turrets that make you feel pain, some fast-flying drones that make you feel iry... I can continue the list, but I hope you got the picture. Now, to the !no-no-no! part. First of all, you are playing for a cyber girl with guns, and before anything else, you see another cyber figure, that definitely represents a Mother archetype. I mean, look at its head, look at its heaps! Very similar to Palaeolithic Venus figurines, which is totally a wasted effort, in the case of a cyberspace shooter game, if it is not about a reference to the Mother. And what is that 'Mother' says to you? 'Wakey-wakey, sleepyhead, it's time to shoot something', 'show me how good you shoot and I'll open some new weapons for you'. And that's it. A Mother sending a girl to shoot things. Now, I don't want to go into sexist tropes. Women are free to do whatever they want. Including shooting, fighting, and dying in the process. But, since we're about archetypes here, I feel very wrong about some 'Mother' sending her girl into meaningless shootouts. That's just it, I'm a bit old-fashioned to chew that pill. Oh, but since the major audience is the much younger players, here's my objective reason to downvote: the stability of the game process. The game engine seems unable to track too many particles simultaneously. And you're bound to see many - especially when you're trying to use a shotgun and have 3+ rocket turrets on the stage. In one moment game goes Boom! And you're out of it, it's crushed. And when you restart it, guess what? All your progress is deleted. You're supposed to open new guns by making some kills, but if you crush every now and then, and your progress wipes out with every crush, where's the reason to continue restarting it? So, my mark is 4/10. Theoretically, a decent roguelike shooter. Fluid, gleaming, entertaining, and free-to-play!.. But the stability of the game is really bad. Plus, I'm not OK with that Mother figure - it's subjective but it's important nonetheless.
