Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this fast Vampire Survivors-style boomer shooter, but many find it short and light on content, especially at full price.

Many players enjoy the fast, satisfying gunplay and the blend of retro shooter movement with horde survival, and the variety of weapons, spells and characters that lets them experiment with builds. Several praise the 1990s-inspired look, music and gore. The main complaint is size: the campaign is over in roughly ten hours, there are few levels, bosses and enemy types, and nothing is left to unlock once everything is done. Some find runs repetitive and the late game slow, and others criticise weak balancing, slow meta-progression, the crosshair and the lack of multiplayer. Recent reviews are more mixed and repeat the content complaint more often than helpful older reviews, which tend to see the game as good value on sale.

Praised

  • Satisfying shooting and movement

    Players praise the fast, precise gunplay and the smooth movement, which give the horde combat a retro shooter feel.

    Many players
  • Weapon and spell variety

    Players like the range of weapons, spells and artifacts that lets them create different builds within each run.

    Many players
  • Retro look, music and gore

    Players enjoy the old-school visuals, the enemy designs, the soundtrack and the bloody, B-movie-style presentation.

    Many players
  • Good value on sale

    Players say the game is fun for a few euros or dollars on sale, though they would not pay full price.

    Many players

Criticised

  • Too short and little content

    Reviewers say the campaign ends after about ten hours, with few levels, bosses and modes, and little to do afterwards.

    Many players
  • Repetitive and shallow gameplay

    Players find the survive-for-minutes format repetitive, with limited builds and little depth, so the fun fades after a few hours.

    Many players
  • Weak balance and progression

    Reviewers criticise unequal weapons and upgrades, slow meta-progression, few resources and gated unlocks.

    Some players
  • Late game slow or easy

    Players note the early and mid game can drag, while the final boss and difficulty are seen as too easy by some.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy fast boomer shooters and horde survival games, and who are happy to buy it on sale for a short, action-focused experience.
Who should skip it
Players who want long-term depth, a large campaign or multiplayer, or who would have to pay full price.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours mostly recommend the game, while those with 20 to 200 hours are split, mainly because they run out of content and find the builds repetitive.
