“The most satisfying combat I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Smooth and zippy. Difficult, but there is a difficulty setting in the form of enemy bullet speed and health boosts. I wish there were more game with this…”

“I love games like this. But this one is far, far, FAR too difficult. I saw another review where the player said they thought they were too old for it, and I genuinely feel for them, because this game is brutal as ♥♥♥♥.…”
“Too hard”
“Post continuation edit: Hate of this game boils down to one thing, the difficulty. WHICH IS COMPLETELY FIXED on the settings menu, you can LITERALLY ADJUST THE SPEED OF THE GAME AND THE BULLETS, YOU CAN SET IT FOR MORE…”

— a player, Steam review · 33 hrs played“Such a smooth gameplay experience, but sooo hard! It frustrates me! I can't recommend this if you're not incredibly skilled at these kinds of games. Maybe I am too old, too slow, or maybe I am too impatient while fighting having a moveset that is this quick and feels so free to…”
