The verdict
A stylish comic-book roguelite FPS with witty British humor and a satisfying loot loop. It gets repetitive after roughly 5-10 hours, so skip it if you want depth or replayability.
Great for
Fans of immersive-sim and roguelite looting who enjoy short sessions, dark humor and comic-book style
Main risk
Ships, enemies and goals repeat quickly, so it feels shallow and grindy for the price

Weak, clunky gunplay and combat
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 negative reviews

Scarce ammo, limited counterplay, no melee
