Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly love its fast gunplay and deep weapon-upgrade builds, but many say co-op is clearly the intended way to play, with solo play on high difficulty a grind.

Many players praise the fast, smooth shooting and movement, the varied weapons that handle differently, and especially the grid-based upgrade and mod system, which invites experimenting with builds. Co-op with friends is repeatedly called the highlight, while several players say solo play, particularly on higher threat levels, becomes a slog of kiting and attrition. Common complaints are repetitive enemy types and bosses, a thin roguelike mode, random upgrade drops, and missions that feel repetitive. Some players note the hub and character interactions as charming, others find the early hours slow. Recent reviews are more mixed on the late game and on the hub redesign and generated terrain, which some feel hurt the first impression for new players. Steam's totals are strongly positive, and most reviewers in this selection recommend it.

Praised

  • Fast, smooth gunplay

    Players enjoy the quick movement tied to sprinting and jumping, and weapons that feel distinct and punchy.

    Many players
  • Deep build and upgrade system

    The grid placement of upgrades and weapon mods lets players craft varied builds and theory-craft freely.

    Many players
  • Co-op fun with friends

    Players say the game is at its best in a group, with revive mechanics that reward teamwork.

    Many players
  • Charm, humour and art style

    The retro, quirky look, the soundtrack and the banter between employees are repeatedly singled out as memorable.

    Many players

Criticised

  • Solo play is a grind

    Players find solo play on higher threat levels overwhelming, with missions taking far longer and enemy counts high.

    Many players
  • Few enemy types and bosses

    Players say the same handful of enemy types and bosses recur across biomes, which gets repetitive.

    Some players
  • Grind and random upgrade drops

    Players note that obtaining upgrades relies heavily on luck, and that late progression and crafting can feel tedious.

    Some players
  • Weak roguelike mode and missions

    Players find the roguelike or Ouroboros mode undercooked and missions repetitive, with rewards that feel thin at lower levels.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suited to players who enjoy build experimentation and looter shooters, especially those who will play in a group of friends.
Who should skip it
Players who want a polished solo experience or a wide variety of enemies and bosses should probably wait or skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are mostly positive about the feel and charm, while those with 20 to 200 hours more often mention grind, repetitive enemies and solo difficulty.
