An honestly really enjoyable mindless game. With endless leveling up and simple grinding, by the end you end up so powerful that you don't even have to shoot anymore, but that's with a specific loadout. However, the final boss was SIGNIFICANTLY harder than any previous boss. Only one I died multiple times to, but even it couldn't withstand a 4000 ammo laser beam

3.9ish/5 stars. I got this game on sale for around $3 USD. It is well worth the $3. It's not a "survive x amount of minute" game like Brotato or Vampire Survivors. It's "leave your base, go kill and collect your material, then level up". -The bloom affect is harsh on the eyes. I couldn't find a setting to turn it off or down. So it's like someone shined a bright light at you after just waking up, but 24/7. -Tons of enemies (up to 1000 active), but I never seen that many at once. -It does feel like it lacks any sort of progression enemy wise about 1/2 way into the game though. So the feeling of grinding creeps in early. -No stuttering, frames usually ran above 60fps on max settings even with all the particles from myself and the enemies. Just for note: It takes less than 18 hours to 100% this game (maybe 5-10 hours). However, I was just watching a tv series while grinding materials... Then I had to grind out the 1M Insect achievement.

Kinda wish the bosses were not always so far away from the base, but the game is rather fun in general. It can get a bit repetitive towards the end, especially since unlocking the various weapons of the aircraft is so easy compated to the mecha and strangely the former is more useful against bosses than the former since it can actually dodge attacks more effectively.

great arcade game to kill some time worth giving the devs some cash, really excited to see if these guys can flesh it out more and get some more meat into the game. Maybe a sequel with modular parts or new weapons or better yet environments. still a good time have no problems with the game other than it can get repetitive but I dont think thats a big deal.
