What players say
90% of 14,988 reviews are positive · 83% of 36 in the last 30 days
Players often praise the fluid combat, responsive movement, and variety among classes and weapons. Common complaints focus on grind-heavy incremental upgrades, awkward platforming around a large character and hitboxes, and enemies firing from off-screen.
