Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
12 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
The weapons were interesting to use although its frustrating to only get like 3 weapons in a stage and then scramble the whole stage to get ammo hoping to not get hit and die.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
10 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
The game, even then, struck an impression on me due to its advanced voxel engine and open-concept gameplay.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
The terraforming is unique, the soundtrack is great.... and thats about it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
It's simple shoot-em-up gameplay, and the graphics are blocky, but the terrain design is pretty cool and you can see it's technically very well programmed.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
7 of 63 sampled reviews raised it
However, its setting and its sound and atmospheric environment turn this unknown title into a reasonable 90s fps for the entertainment of lovers of the genre.
