Neat game, engaging combat. 3 "campaign" levels that took me around a half hour to beat in total. main focus of the game seems to be the "eternal suffering" mode which is an endless arena.

Combat is fast and often chaotic, demanding constant movement and situational awareness. Players navigate enclosed arenas and corridor-like spaces while facing waves of aggressive enemies.
