gameplay3 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • Smooth, satisfying movement and gunplay with unique heat management mechanic replacing traditional reloading adds strategic depth.
  • Good visual and audio design with attention to detail and an intriguing dystopian atmosphere.
  • Great potential with engaging gameplay modes and a map editor; platforming sections and open maps praised for freedom and design.
  • Current enemy and level design restrict movement and feel unbalanced, with some enemies firing too frequently and rooms being too claustrophobic.
  • Multiple bugs and technical issues, including menu problems, freezing on overheating, and lack of polish typical of Early Access builds.
  • Story mode and some game systems are still incomplete or poorly implemented, limiting overall experience at this stage.

  • story

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The story mode is currently unfinished and not fully implemented, with some random events feeling poorly executed. However, users find the core gameplay satisfying and are eager for the upcoming story update, anticipating an interesting plot and expanded content.

    • “I really want bigger locations for maneuvers, and I'm also looking forward to a full story mode.”
    • “The plot sounds interesting, so I’m definitely going to play through it once the story update is out.”
    • “While the story isn't implemented, and random events during the wave mode feel a bit poorly implemented.”
    • “I tried both the normal mode (story mode is wip) and sandbox, and the sandbox is really raw now.”
    • “Waiting for the story mode to be released!”

  • gameplay

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a satisfying core loop with fast-paced, arcade-style movement and a unique gun heat management mechanic instead of traditional reloading. While some random events feel poorly implemented and the story is lacking, the healing and overheating systems stand out as distinctive features that enhance the experience.

    • “While the story isn't implemented and random events during the wave mode feel a bit poorly implemented, at a core level the gameplay loop and movement is satisfying, and fills that itch I have for high speed arcade style shooters quite nicely.”
    • “There is one really nice mechanic - instead of reloading, you must manage the heat of the guns: do not let them overheat, or else you won't be able to use them until they cool down.”
    • “Quite a unique game, I want to highlight the healing and overheating mechanics, which are the main difference from ordinary shooters.”

  • optimization

    The game exhibits minor stuttering initially, likely from shader loading, but overall runs smoothly at 4K 240Hz on high-end hardware like the R9 9950X and RTX 5080, indicating good optimization.

    • “Played at 4K 240Hz, performance was good with a R9 9950X and RTX 5080 as I would hope.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is currently poor, with frequent bugs such as missing menus, screen freezes when pressing ESC, missing text, and crashes during gameplay, making it frustrating and unreliable.

    • “This game has a lot of potential, and everyone can see it, but as it is now, I wouldn't recommend it because of numerous bugs. For example, menus don't show up, when you press ESC the screen just freezes and the writings aren't there. In the tutorial, when you overheat the shotgun the game freezes and you are forced to Alt + F4.”
