Nostalgic old-school side-scrolling shooter gameplay with smooth animations and a decent pace.
Large arsenal of weapons with a reasonable upgrade system that adds depth and replayability.
Challenging levels and bosses that appeal to fans of retro games; soundtrack and audio cues are fitting and well done.

Difficulty can be inconsistent and sometimes overly punishing, leading to frequent frustrating deaths.
Gameplay can become repetitive due to lack of scenery changes and occasional sluggish pacing with some tedious level sections.
