What players say

89% of 2,626 reviews are positive · 86% of 52 in the last 30 days

Players praise the typing challenge and the variety of weapon and upgrade choices. Their most common complaint is that overlapping words and visual effects make targets hard to read, especially in boss fights. Some also find the easier settings too difficult for beginner typists.
