- “The graphics are excellently rendered with no hiccups or visible glitching, it runs well on a moto g, the sound is nicely paired, and the gameplay is paced well enough to satisfy hardcore gamers, while being an engaging tread - and far more adaptable for newcomers - than most other isometric shooters up here on the play store.”
