The verdict
An addictive, atmospheric roguelite shooter where you kill zombies for meat to fuel your train, with great gunplay. It's early access and short, so skip it if you dislike timers and die-and-repeat loops.
Great for
Roguelite and retro-shooter fans who like atmosphere, exploration and replaying short runs
Main risk
The timed, die-and-repeat loop with quotas and one-shot enemies can feel punishing or repetitive
What players love
Addictive gameplay loop
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
