What it is

This is a retro-style, multiplayer FPS where players shoot cereal-themed aliens. The core loop involves exploring levels and using various "zorching devices" to defeat enemies.

What players liked

Players praise it as a fun, simple shooter, a good recreation of the classic Chex Quest, and a charming, adventurous Doom-like.

The catch

It plays slower and clunkier than the original and loses most of its charm.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 80% positive, but with 2,084 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
