Fun and chaotic FPS roguelike gameplay inspired by Serious Sam and Vampire Survivors with nonstop enemy hordes to shoot and dodge.
Smooth controls, satisfying weapon upgrades, and a retro low-poly aesthetic that appeals to fans of boomer shooters.
Completely free to play with potential for great replayability, providing a solid time-killer experience with quick restarts and varied weapon/upgrade choices.

Progression and unlock systems are grind-heavy and slow, leading to limited content access and reduced long-term replayability.
Gameplay balance issues including becoming invincible with certain upgrades, easy enemy AI, and repetitive enemy spawn patterns causing impatience and reduced challenge.
Lacks polish and options such as better item descriptions, controller-friendly UI, mouse invert option, FOV slider, multiplayer/co-op mode, and more diverse enemy behaviors to enhance depth and variety.
