Really short game, just a simple rhythm shooter along the likes of BPM, with the difference being this one is an actual game and BPM is a crappy low effort roguelike with a shitty filter applied to hide that all the assets aren't original to the game.
Gameplay is short but sweet, guns feel nice, hits feel satisfying, but the health system kind of sucks, why design a system where you have health if you have Doom 2016-esque system where every finisher refills most of your health, it feels totally out of place and only done because it was in Doom.
This becomes notably apparent when the game can't decide whether it wants you to take no hits, punishing you by reducing your multiplier greatly if you get hit once, or a game where you're supposed to take a few shots, with enemies spamming projectiles that can get hard to see in the chaos and focus on the beats.
Bosses are pretty boring and generic, not much to say about them.
Levels are alright in the beginning, but a bit dull, being a lot of large Doom Eternal style arenas, but near the end of the game the level design just hits the fan with small hallways where you're packed in with a bunch of enemies and it stops being fun because you're just dealing with 8 waves in an area you couldn't dream of not getting hit in, you probably won't die but it's not going to be a fun time.
A major thing that kind of holds the game back for me is that the soundtrack is just kind of... boring, it doesn't feel focused enough on being intense and more on just being a standard metal track or whatever, and it doesn't have the benefit of something like BPM where the soundtracks are just heavily focused on their repetitive beat patterns so you can get a good rhythm going.
Worst of all, the game has a nasty habit of crashing if too much is going on, particularly when you explode a door or an object, my playthrough was about 3 hours and I crashed about 4 times, that's pretty unacceptable especially in a game with no checkpoints.
However the game is fun enough, and is good for what the price is, so if you like unorthodox rhythm games it's worth trying for the style and just to support the developers.
