+Gameplay - Awesome arcade - simply shoot ALL the enemies to go to the next level, you have tons of secrets to explore, you have cash grabs to buy new weapons and ammo, and you have various pickups to make your life easier.
Combat

34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
These can give you resources or early weapons, which can help you out too, Also, the weapons are cool, different and they have their own role.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack and sound effects are simple but effective, enhancing the chaotic, arcade-like experience.
Graphics

+Visuals - with a maximum resolution of 1024x768 - this game still looks beautiful in 2016 - funny enemies exploding to expose their interior :), bullet shells, box pieces and body pieces keep lay on the ground, so after some time the whole level is covered with them.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is also a steep difficulty curve, especially in later stages, that can feel punishing without careful preparation or optimal weapon use.
