The verdict
A polished, Doom Eternal-style cyberpunk roguelite shooter with excellent gunplay, but only four stages and bosses make runs repetitive. Skip it if you want deep replayability or hate grinding.
Great for
Doom Eternal and Roboquest fans who want fast, ability-driven arena combat in short sessions
Main risk
Only four levels and bosses, so runs feel the same after several hours
What players love
Great cyberpunk style and soundtrack

Marking mechanic forces constant ability use
Mentioned in ~1 in 11 negative reviews
