A very fun coop twin stick shooter that doesn't hold back from challenging the players with its mayhem and onslaught of enemy and friendly (!) attacks.

Things I liked:
- unique use of the D-pad through Stratagems
- community focused overarching mechanic
- responsive and snappy gameplay
- great couch/online co-op

Things I didn't like:
- connection issues
- enemy variety

Poor implementation of the seasonal mechanic while the base game still suffers from a lack of endgame. Season 3 has been improved upon with a couple patches and a mid season update, but it's still lackluster and the game needed much, much more.

Things I didn't like:
- Seneschal pet upgrading did not feel satisfying or impactful
- new chase items were implemented through a boss yet again
- no leaderboards at launch

One of the best co-op shooters I've ever experienced. The game mechanics are simple yet very nuanced, with a very deep learning curve. It's a very charming game I find myself coming back to every so often.

Things I liked:
- amazing community
- great replayability
- satisfying shooting
- charming presentation
