## What I Liked - Fun theme and presentation, love many of the influences the enemies are taken from and it meshes together very well. - Weapons are non-traditional and fun to figure out. - Constant drip of unlocks. ## What I Didn't Like - Leveling slows down pretty quickly and you aren't presented new weapon options at a good rate. - Would have loved to see some modifiers that you could use after completing the game to change up the next playthrough. ## Gameplay The feeling of the shooting and movement is very striking, while avoiding the dashing or double-jump you would typically see in these games. A true Arena shooter in how you play, with very light Roguelike elements in that you have to complete the series of levels in one go. This ended up not being an issue for me as I made it through in one shot. Perhaps that speaks to the difficulty needing to be tuned a bit more or perhaps my weapon drops helped carry me. The big thing I wish was here was a way to get more frequent weapon choices. I probably only leveled up twice the last two series of arenas and I just fell back to using the same weapon over and over again. If you are going to have randomized weapons, flood me with options to choose from. ## Graphics & Sound It's very much retro themed, but it looks super fun and the sound matches that. Enemies have cool designs and the effects are very clear to track visually. ## Would I Recommend It? Yes ### Who Should Skip It I really don't know, it's a great little game to dive into if you like retro shooters. If you want something super deep, that would be the only thing I would say should cause a skip. ## PC Spec CPU: i7-14700K Memory: 32GB Video Card: RTX 3080 Storage Type: NVMe Monitor resolution: 5120x1440
