It is a twin-stick shooter with lovely animations, a half-interesting story and a fun gameplay.

A unique addition to any twin-stick shooter fan's library, the art style is gorgeous and there's a surprising amount of variety involved.

The more you play the better the weapons and I had to drag myself away to play something else.

And also worth pointing out that game supports two (2) player co-op and I could imagine this being more fun with a friend.
