The verdict
A stylish cyberpunk old-school arena shooter with great visuals, destruction and a two-gun upgrade system. Clunky movement, bullet-sponge enemies and repetition put many off.
Great for
Fans of Serious Sam, Painkiller and Doom-style arena shooters who want a cheap, challenging cyberpunk romp
Main risk
Clunky movement and bullet-sponge enemies in cramped arenas make combat repetitive and frustrating
