This game loves to spawn in lots of enemies right on top of you any time you activate or pick up anything. Okay, I could deal with that, but what I could not deal with was the tedious back-tracking through the level when i was 80% done with the mission and got killed when a hard-to-see boss spawned in right on top of me. The game does give you a map, but it's almost impossible to see where you are on that map, it's not clear what direction you are facing, and key features like locked doors are only displayed about 20% of the time. Even on easy mode the game is quite hard only because the game likes to completely surround you with a ton of enemies out of nowhere. It's not impossible to deal with, but it starts to feel very one-note very quickly. The game bounces between frantic hordes of enemies, and boring empty corridors feeling lost, and not a lot in-between those two extremes. This game is out to get you, and not in a fun way, and when it inevitably does, you know you are in for a bad time. When it's not trying to kill you, it's trying to bore you to deah There is a reason why respawn points were invented... and they existed long before this game came out. Any time you open a door or kill a boss there should be a respawn point. I would not even mind the fact that you lose your secondary weapons when you die, but it was the backtracking that killed the game for me. Play time says 2 hours but it was probably more like 90 minutes with AFK time.

Fun shmup. I think I'm going to have Taco Bell for dinner.

Horrible, horrible game. My rating 2/10, not recommended.

There's too much bumbling around between the action. Whole game you'll be shooting the same variety of enemies and there's not enough options with the weaponry either. The music is dull and the graphics are expectedly archaic by now. Through the whole game you'll be looking for keycards and buttons to press to progress to the next area, while shooting the same enemies over and over. It's not a bad game, but it's not very entertaining either.
