❤ You Control an Alien Parasite that Snatches Bodies

At the core of the gameplay, you control an alien parasite that can possess and control different enemy characters. As the parasite, you have only 1 HP and are extremely vulnerable on your own. However, by snatching the bodies of enemies, you can take advantage of their unique abilities, weapons, and health pools to survive. Reviewers consistently praise this body-snatching mechanic as a fresh and engaging twist on the twin-stick shooter/roguelite genre.

❤ Experiment with Over 60 Unique Playable Characters

The game offers over 60 different playable characters to unlock, each with their own distinct move sets and special abilities. Reviewers highlight how the ability to swap between these varied host bodies keeps the action feeling dynamic and encourages experimentation. For example, you can possess a fast-paced melee fighter, a long-range shotgun wielder, or a boomerang-throwing maniac, allowing you to tailor your playstyle to your preferences.

❤ Overcome Brutal Challenges through Adaptation

The game is described as brutally difficult, with permadeath being a constant threat. However, reviewers find this challenge to be compelling rather than frustrating, as each run forces you to adapt your strategies and master the body-snatching mechanics. The procedurally generated levels and enemies add to the unpredictability, ensuring that no two runs are the same. Overcoming these challenges and gradually unlocking new playable characters is cited as a major source of the game's addictive appeal.

❤ Enjoy Responsive Twin-Stick Shooting

Alongside the body-snatching gimmick, reviewers emphasize the game's tight and responsive twin-stick controls. They praise the shooting and movement, highlighting a good sense of weight and impact to the various weapons and attacks. This solid foundation allows the unique possession mechanics to shine, as you can seamlessly transition between different host bodies and their corresponding abilities.

❤ Immerse Yourself in the Vibrant Retro-Inspired Aesthetic

The game's visual style is consistently lauded, with its pixelated graphics, neon-drenched environments, and over-the-top 80s influences creating a distinct and immersive atmosphere. Reviewers highlight how this retro aesthetic complements the game's synthwave-infused soundtrack, further contributing to the cohesive and stylish presentation.
