The verdict
A chaotic, colorful roguelike shooter that is mostly a bigger, refined Neon Abyss 1 with co-op. Skip it if you want something new, or if bugs and weak items bother you.
Great for
Neon Abyss 1 fans and roguelike players who like chaotic builds and co-op with friends
Main risk
Feels like a derivative, buggy sequel with weak items and weapons and laggy co-op
