6 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is characterized by methodical movement and punishing mechanics, emphasizing survival in a bullet hell environment. It features solid twin-stick controls, complemented by a unique 1-bit art style and chiptune music. While the core gameplay is simple, it offers depth through multiple endings, unlockable modes, and challenging achievements, providing around an hour of initial playtime.
“Good and methodical core gameplay on deliberate movement to survive onslaughts of bullet hells.”
“Gameplay is simple but a little unusual (in a good way).”
“A nice 1-bit art style and chiptune music around solid twin-stick mechanics.”
“Every other aspect of the game takes a backseat to demanding and punishing mechanics.”
“There are no rogue-like mechanics in the game; the term is only used to describe a sentry that has gone rogue.”
