Review mrmiffmiff 5/5 · Dec 23, 2025

Very dynamic and with great sound design

I am not exactly a fan of fixed shooters but among those I've played so far this is by far the most interesting in a lot of ways, highly dynamic. I actually enjoy the docking and different sequences and such. And the sound design is great, the effects are almost musical in a way.
