The verdict
A short, bloody isometric horde shooter with a great soundtrack that mostly works as a nostalgia trip. Skip it if you want depth, variety or a polished modern-PC port.
Great for
Nostalgic players and fans of quick, mindless top-down alien-slaughter sessions on sale
Main risk
Repetitive, very short game with a buggy Steam port that may not justify the price without nostalgia
What players love
Satisfying mindless horde shooting
