The gameplay is a unique blend of shmup and capture the flag mechanics, offering engaging and rewarding experiences, especially in co-op mode. While the core mechanics are well-executed and reminiscent of classic 90s shooters, players express a desire for more content and variety, as the current grind can become repetitive. Overall, the game shows great potential but is hindered by a lack of depth and the presence of pay-to-play elements.
“Interesting concept combining a shmup (shoot 'em up)/bullet hell with capture the flag mechanics.”
“The gameplay is simple yet very engaging and rewarding.”
“I love that the devs have taken some relatively simple game mechanics and systems and merged them together to make something beautiful.”
“Very quickly though I realized that the pay-to-play mechanics were about 10x worse than anything EA developed.”
“Pointless game, poor mechanics, poor design.”
“It's gameplay is lackluster and unsatisfying; its modeling is fine, but its sprite work looks like something from a Japanese shoot 'em up game.”
