Overwhelmingly positive reviews out the wazoo. I found out about it here:

It’s Id’s early aesthetic (eg. skulls) boiled down into an arena shooter. It’s also cribbed Id’s early weapon design (shotgun and lightning gun, specifically), merging them together into the player’s hand, which sprays red death at a growing mob of enemies (eg. skulls) that are chasing after you and the strange obelisks that birth them.


I haven't tried it, but it looks like a very dumbed down Doom/Quake with no stages, just endless enemies and a scoreboard. So of course, RPS game of the year 2016.

Your description is accurate. It's pretty much what it looks like. There's some progression: collecting gems to upgrade your one weapon. I played it briefly after hearing high praise from Giant Bomb.

It blows my mind that you even know what Giant Bomb says, let alone base your playing decisions on it. Just completely blows my mind.
