The verdict
A brutally hard one-hit-death arena shooter with superb sound and art, built around leaderboard chasing and the 500-second achievement. Skip it if you want variety, progression or a relaxed game.
Great for

Main risk
Boredom or frustration from repeating the same arena and early waves with no progression, for $10
What players love
