7/10 Decent rogue-lite, space setting is a bit unique. Good amount of content for price and some nice challenges, that aren't just grind mobs. Art style is clear and game play is very smooth. Recommended to all rogue-lite fans.

This is a great twin-stick shooter action roguelite. It has a strong, and fun, meta-progression. The characters play very differently. The moment-to-moment gameplay is action-filled and gives you a sense of a fair challenge. The challenge mode switches up the base gameplay with each one having a unique objective. The only negative thing I have to say about it, is that the devs consider it complete and won't add more content. It is, however, a well-made game that is well worth the price tag.

I've played a lot of Survivor-likes, and this doesn't reach the same level as Vampire Survivors, Brotato and Soulstone Survivors, but the sci-fi theme help elevates it past the stinkers. Objectively speaking, it's a solid 6/10. The game is incredibly repetitive and kind of short on content. You'll be playing the exact same map with the exact same spawn patterns until you've collected enough cubes to fully upgrade your character, and then you'll unlock unique, character-specific challenges that you play once before you beat it. There's not much else to do after that. Beyond that, it'll still scratch the itch. I recommend it if you want something that feels different from the other games in the genre and isn't overly pricey. If you're not too experienced with survivors games, you're better off playing one of the games mentioned in the beginning. This is fine, but there are much better options out there.

One of the better survivor-likes I've played. Fun builds & combos, the controls work great, plays great on deck, looks sharp. Only downside is maybe it's a little light on content (almost everything unlocked except the challenges coming up on 20 hours), but for only $5 it's a real deal. Highly recommended! 8/10
