The verdict
A charming Borderlands-style hero shooter/MOBA hybrid with a fun co-op campaign, but servers are shut down and it's delisted, so it's effectively unplayable. Skip unless you'll use the Reborn community project.
Great for
Fans who want to try the community Reborn project and enjoy Borderlands-style humor and co-op PvE
Main risk
Official servers are shut down, so the game can't be played, even single-player
