The verdict
A janky, budget Doom-meets-Titanfall shooter set in an atmospheric Necromunda hive city. Fun fast gunplay, but bugs and endless spawns make it sale-only; skip it if you don't care about 40K.
Great for
Warhammer 40K fans who want a fast, mindless movement shooter and can tolerate jank
Main risk
Buggy, clunky execution and endless enemy spawns make it feel unfinished at full price
What players love
Authentic Necromunda atmosphere and level design
