The verdict
A fast, free, no-microtransaction twin-stick roguelite with local co-op and a good soundtrack, but repetitive and the Remix version has a long-standing save bug. Skip if you want depth or reliable progress.
Great for
Players wanting a free, quick-session twin-stick shooter, solo or couch co-op
Main risk
Save progress and unlocks get wiped in the Remix version, forcing a downgrade to Legacy
What players love
Great art style and soundtrack
