4.02 from 256 votes
A top-down shooter game with an 80s aesthetic, a brutal style, and a thoughtful, slightly surreal philosophy underlying the story about the nature of violence.

Great way to spend the weekend
Fantastic game! As opposed to a lot of other indie retro style games, the throwback graphics truly add to the overall presentation. The frantic and psychotic feel of the game is perfectly captured through the pixelated gore and viscera, and in my opinion adds to the disturbing vibe of the game as a whole. The gameplay is fast and addicting, with just enough difficulty to keep you enthralled but never too frustrated. You can play it stealthy like a letterman clad assassin, or recklessly attack the enemy with a myriad of lethal objects. The music is great and the story is pretty good, with a narrative that is very much open to interpretation. Well worth the price on GOG or Steam,
