Let it be said that being a product of its time isn't always a bad thing. Developed by the fittingly named Ska Studios, this is a edgy, violent and chaotic game. It's sure not to be everyones taste but it hit the spot for me.

It's style and tone really gave me a nostalgic feel for the weird late 2000s - early 2010s edgy internet odditities. Hell a few of the cutscenes had drawings that I could probably find in my old high school sketch book. Just a bunch of weird shit that I still have a fondness for.

The combat is snappy, fast paced and responsive. It's a 2D character action game with it's combos and dodge mechanics. There are two playable characters but unfortunately they don't feel that different enough from one another to warrant multiple playthroughs. Bosses are well designed and there is a solid variety of enemy types. Sometimes rapid screen shaking can make things hard to read during combat. It will absolutely lead to some deaths when you take a second to blink. But overall I had a lot of fun with this short little title.

I 100% recommend this game to anyone who grew up around that previously mentioned time and/or is into this kind of stuff. It's the kind of game that you will know just by the title if you have any interest in it or not. Love it or hate it, it's not afraid to be itself and you gotta respect that.
