Overall, the game successfully combines top-down shooter and survival horror elements, offering a fun and engaging experience with new challenges and mechanics.
- “The one-handed mechanic is absolutely amazing and makes the game really interesting; the whole movement and reloading system is great, and I liked how crafting and resource management were tied into it.”
