User Reviews
I love this game. It's so good.
Just started playing and I am enjoying this is bunch! I like how even though you die in one hit, the gun turrets you destroyed stay that way. So there feels like there is some progression. However, I am playing on casual difficulty, so I'm unsure if it works that way on veteran. But I'd like to work my way up to veteran once I learn the levels a bit.
So it's a difficult, one hit death game, but the the game gives you options to ease you in. Thumbs UP!
