Not recommended Apr 9, 2026
This free game is easily the worst ones so far. The audio alone is unbearable, the glitching sound is constant and irritating. The tutorial? Basically nonexistent. Just button prompts in black text on a black background… you literally can’t read it. There’s no real storyline, no feedback when you hit enemies, no indication when you take damage unless you stare at your health bar. It feels completely unfinished—like maybe 10% of a game. I almost never say this… but don’t download it. It’s not worth your time. If they fix it in the future, maybe it could become something? But right now, It’s just frustrating.
