When I heard about this game, I wanted to see more about it, so I went to see the trailer of the game. It looks awesome and interests me to try to play it. The game sound like a roguelike game. But man, was I disappointed.

You play as a character with no background story nor knowing his name, you wake up in a desert, while walking a little more, you'll find a boomerang and this is where the game starts. Some enemies have a red crystal around their back, and the only way to kill them is to hit the red crystal around their back. While some enemies don't have a crystal around their bodies, you can just hit them with your boomerang and kill them in one shot. You start with one shield, the more you progress, the more shield you'll unlock.

There are different skills you'll unlock. Like freeze time, spray shot (something like that), and other skills. The game is really short and doesn't really have a story to it. You just go around the map and kill, kill and kill. Which, for me, was really boring. Doing the same thing over and over again with different skills. While enemy variety changes. It doesn't make the game more interesting, just adds new enemies are basically have similar attack movement to other enemy.

It takes about 2-4 hours to complete the game, once completed, you'll unlock a brand-new mode. Called “New Game+” it's basically restarting the game, but it's harder. Nothing new, just harder. The last room you'll face is a boss, and it's quite hard.

What I love about this game are the gameplay modes settings you can add. If you're struggling, and you feel like giving up. You can turn on ''invincible mode” and you'll never die. There are different options you can add, like no shield mode which by the sound of the name, you'll have no shield. Once you're hit, you'll die. While your movement speed in this game is extremely fast and cool, you can even do bunny hop like you would in bullet per minute.

Adding invincibility mode in the game is really something, while some people aren't very good at the game, the often give up after a while. But after adding invincibility, they can skip the current level they are struggling and proceed to the next. While some people in other hands, are using invincibility to finish the game as quickly as possible, i mean It's their choice, if they are having fun, then let them.

Graphics-wise, it's quite decent. But I feel like this game is for speed runners and speed runners only, it might be fun for some people, but for me. I'm not a fan. That's why I'm rating it a 7.50. I probably wouldn't try this game again, as it's quite boring to play the game a second time.

I can't really say much about this game, as there's barely that much to talk about this game. So why not just give it a try, and maybe you'll like it?
