    The story mode is still in early development, with only the first act or a tutorial available, leading to mixed feelings—some find the plot and setting engaging and look forward to future expansions, while others feel the current story experience is underwhelming and lacking gameplay depth. Overall, players are eager and hopeful for a fuller, more developed story mode that complements the strong arcade and roguelite mechanics.

    • “Has a good tutorial and the premise of the story is absolutely engaging.”
    • “Story mode is just in its first phase and I enjoyed the plot, the different level designs of the various parts of the prisons, and the cut scenes that develop a rough-around-the-edges but unified dialog among the characters, invoking the sort of community effort we need to see more of today.”
    • “Love the story, love the setting, love the control and action.”
    • “I think if the dev had focused on making a tight arcade/roguelite experience, and developed it with that focus in mind, instead of spending time on a fairly underwhelming story mode, it might've done better.”
    • “The 'story mode' is really lacking in gameplay, very few upgrades, just the same dude beating everyone up.”
    • “My biggest worry is that the story will just be a wall of text stuck between arena fights.”

    The gameplay is a challenging and addictive blend of retro-style platform brawler mechanics with smart enemy AI, balanced resource management, and smooth combat. While the current arcade mode offers a solid, frenetic beat 'em up experience with strategic depth through AI comrades and varied attacks, the story mode is noted as lacking in upgrades and gameplay variety. Overall, the mechanics are well-designed, engaging, and offer a strong foundation with promising potential for future expansions.

    • “Absolutely rock-hard retro platform brawler game with tons of smart mechanics and some of the best enemy AI I've ever seen in a game of this type.”
    • “I'm particularly fond of the mechanic where killing enemies with melee gives ammo while killing enemies with ranged attacks gives health; it's really well balanced, especially in the brawler sections.”
    • “The gameplay is a solid foundation for a beat 'em up; your character starts with a punch-punch-kick combo, crouching leg kick, jump kick, and some kind of 8-directional gun with limited ammo.”
    • “The 'story mode' is really lacking in gameplay, with very few upgrades and just the same character beating everyone up.”
    • “It looks and plays just like a bargain bin title that somehow gained cult status despite its obvious gameplay limitations.”
    • “Arcade mode is the sole gameplay mode available as of this writing and is somewhat of a rogue-lite featuring an endless series of arenas where waves of enemies rush to assault the player and their allies.”

    • “The art and music are fantastic.”
    • “Every few area clears, you earn partner with clutch powers and each area clear you get a choice of 3 random upgrades; all the while you are jamming to a chip tune soundtrack.”
