Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“It's an original game for sure, but it's not very fun. Too repetitive, and non-stop action. So You only do one thing,it's shooting robots.”
“Basically, enemies have no AI on this game!!! Just run and shoot. There's no fun in it. But the worst to me is the look and feel of an old game poorly made with Adobe Flash.”
