The verdict
A short, breezy isometric twin-stick shooter and puzzle-platformer that shines in co-op. Skip it if you want a deep Tomb Raider, plan to use keyboard and mouse, or have a modern PC that may not launch it.
Great for
Couples and friends who want couch co-op puzzles and light twin-stick action, ideally with gamepads
Main risk
May not launch on modern Windows PCs, and controls are poor without a gamepad.
What players love
Clever puzzles and satisfying platforming
Mentioned in ~2 in 5 positive reviews
“Being able to throw a spear into a wall to climb up, or use a grappling hook to get around, gave the movement a lot more depth than I was expecting.”
