Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 19, 2026)

This roguelite spin on a classic arena shooter series scores 55.5, 1380th of 1447 of the games we analyzed.

👍 Strengths

110 reviews find the action fun, with good optimization and a range of weapons. 27 enjoy playing with friends, describing chaotic and absurd co-op moments. 23 like the graphics, and a few single out the level art. Multiplayer ranks 533rd of 642. Some note that weapons grow very powerful as a run goes on.

👎 Where it falls short

37 reviews report endless bugs, from falling through floors and broken keybinds to lost save progress. 28 find it repetitive, with samey rooms and limited enemy variety. 22 say the grind is heavy, with large amounts of currency needed for each weapon and random drops that make progression feel unrewarding. Others feel weak synergies limit builds. Gameplay ranks 1332nd of 1396, Content Volume ranks 1214th of 1351, Story & World ranks 1085th of 1096, and Tech & Support ranks 1261st of 1399.
