Played this game a lot when I was a kid. I unlocked all the slots and characters and completed every mission. This game was really special and amazing at the time. I didn't know they had a Steam version. The graphics are very outdated by today standard, and the game lacks content. But at least it doesn't have all the nonsense like battle passes, weird collabs, random events, or tons of skins. It's very straightforward and basic. Still playable and gameplay loop is enjoyable. Play the game on mobile for better control. Would love to support the devs for making this game! Such a good nostalgia trip.

It's not a bad game. The quality is better than that of the phone. The balance could have been better regarding upgrades and levels.

It's a good game for mindless carnage and climbing an upgrade ladder.
