Love it! Tried the demo and bought it. But Putting aside the fact that I am a sucker for retro looking games such as this. The art style, the sound, the music, the characters, the cyberpunk setting, it all just works and it's so full of personality, a work of art. The gameplay, it's a platformer, think of metal slug series and you got the right idea, but here enough has been tweaked to feel fresh and stand out on its own. Try the demo and give it a shot!

I'm really enjoying this game. The bosses can be a real challenge, even on easy! (I must admit I ended up switching down to "easy" on my first play-through). "The harder the game, the more satisfying it is to beat," said me (just now). Great audio. I love the 80s stylised bit-tunes, and the voice acting adds another layer of quality and polish. Thanks, coffee Stain Publishing for a solid game not marred by overly aggressive or indeed any monetization. Yay!

How do I give more than 5 stars? This game is insanely good, and feels like the best of an old-school arcade game somehow maximized for today's powerful cell phones - especially the widescreen! Playing it with a controller mapped the way I want, it immediately feels like an old favorite. I bought the full version just minutes into playing. This is one I'll go back to over and over - great, simple, visceral action! Amazing 64bit-style graphics!

This game is HARD, even on normal difficulty. And that's a good thing, though my thirtieth attempt at the second boss means I doubt I'll ever actually finish the game. Also the fact that checkpoints don't save between sessions is annoying, so sometimes I can't be bothered starting a session. But the TLC in this game is so obvious I don't regret the purchase at all. This one will stay on my device for a long time.

Stunning game, in every way. The tactical feature of hiding in shadows or behind blocks adds so much and the boss battles are epic. Love all the knowing nods to the 80s/90s, this game is probably the best thing I've played on android. Only glitch for me is the way the screen moves when the character jumps up. It's too slow and this is a problem on later levels, especially the final battle with Shogun where he is off screen half the time which is a nightmare. Other than that, se-e-e-ensational!

This game scratches an itch I didn't even know I had. The art is fantastic. It captures the futuristic dystopian theme perfectly. The gameplay is 2D side scrolling shooting and it is a lot of fun. Most of the time you are just shooting bad guys. But there is a little bit of strategy to each level and you get some fun weapon variety. The controls work as well as mobile controls can work. Keep making games like this and I will keep buying them.

Wow. I don't normally leave reviews but I played the demo and immediately bought the game lol. Awesome incredible fun. The art, the music, the gameplay. This is not just a random run and gun, you have to use some stealth and skill to beat the levels. The story and the voice acting is awesome. It is WELL worth the money I rated it 5 stars. Best 4 Bucks I ever spent. One thing I will say, I'm playing this game with a Bluetooth controller and couldn't imagine the game without it.

It's actually a very good game! I was looking for some shooters and well, besides its gunplay, the characters with their voices too, its cool! and also for additional, this game has a very great artstyle! Like, the detail and a fit atmosphere from what they have- the cyberpunk-ed theme. The things were that, you have to pay to play fully and the screen's width was too wide and big for my phone. The game's menus and stuff was almost cropped! Maybe with better device im sure it'll be way nicer.

Amazing game! Full of action, platforming, and shooting! It reminds me a lot of contra or streets of rage. Perfectly tight controls makes you feel immersed in the game like youre the bounty hunter, killing enemies. Speaking of which, enemies have great variety as well as weapons. You can equip a shotgun, a machine gun, a rocket launcher, grenades and molotov cocktails and many more. Currently it is on sale for only 2.99 so it's way too much value. Recommended!

Pleasantly surprised to see this available on Android at an incredibly reasonable price. Borderline flawless part with the only bug that I've found is that as somebody else has mentioned, the pause button via controller doesn't work. Other than that, the game is simply sublime and should be experienced by anybody with a passing interest in 90s, platformers or shooters. This isn't one to be missed!
