What it is

This is a reverse bullet hell mech survival rogue-lite where players upgrade their mech to fight alien hordes. It offers strategic combat and customizable mech builds for a challenging experience.

Painfully slow and boring pacing, with thin enemy and upgrade variety.

Why it is here

It is here because it sits in the band this site looks at: well reviewed at 80% positive, but with 1,377 reviews, far fewer than the household names carry.
