The verdict
A fast, funny arcade hockey roguelite in the NHL 94 / Hitz tradition with a great core feel. Skip it if you want a sim, play on keyboard, or hate weak teammate AI and swingy goalies.
Great for
Controller players and couch co-op groups who want NHL 94-style arcade hockey with silly roguelite power-ups
Main risk
Your AI teammates and goalie are weak while opponents seem unfair, so losses feel random and frustrating.
