The verdict
A cheap, short-session retro 2D SWAT shooter with great music, pixel art and class variety, best as couch co-op. Skip it if you want real tactics, play solo, or need online co-op.
Great for
Couch co-op duos who like retro pixel shooters, short sessions and chasing 3-star runs
Main risk
Repetitive, shallow gameplay and unreliable online co-op once the novelty wears off
