Should you play it?

A mysterious agent, capable of becoming a digital ghost, sneaks aboard the Nakamura Space Station. This is where the fun begins: the station is well-protected with its heavy defences, never-ending arsenal of weapons, and mysterious artifacts. It will all have to be destroyed.

What works

  • Challenging bosses and combat requiring skill and strategy
  • Humorous and well-voiced story with memorable characters
  • Good replayability with multiple modes and difficulty levels

Things to keep in mind

  • Some frustrating difficulty spikes and grind required
  • Linear map design with limited exploration compared to genre standards
  • Annoying stealth section that many players skip
