An entertaining time killer. Don't expect much though. It's a tiny game with minimal content. I play this when solitaire gets too boring.

This game doesn't even feel like a pc game. Whether it was one or not it feels like a terrible pc port form a mobile game. It is missing basically all options including not having a full screen mode, or key bindings, it runs like dirt, and it looks terrible. I wish i had refunded this when i first bought it but i was hoping they would do updates to make the game more a pc game and not look and run like a mobile port. I cannot Not recommend this enough.

Meh... it's barely a time killer. It has absolute minimal content, minimal strategy and tactics, minimal management. You'll master it in 20 minutes and get bored with it.

This is easy to say. No. On release it was an overly simple game. Inoffensive, sure, but there was so little going on it would've been hard to recommend regardless. Further, if you've never played this, everyone else talking about the lack of replay is absolutely correct. Play one game and you've played all possible games. That's how little is going on, here. Yet...now it doesn't even boot up correctly. 2K has had lots of flak fired it's way over the years and for good reason, but man, if you can't even keep THIS running right... Just pack it in over there, guys. You clearly don't care, so just stop. Stop making games and stop wasting our time. Do the Konami thing and, I don't know, make a Civilization themed slot machine or something?
Not recommended Jul 30, 2026
Not deep, extremely slow game with each shoot taking forever for no good reason
