Steam review snapshots
The overall experience is very good on steam deck.But the ones that go through walls build up to a point where you sometimes can't get back into the ship to…Every run is a mix of risk and improvisation, a perfect blend of tactics and chaos.There is also a Coop Campaign mode, but since I didn't play it, I'm not sure what it's worth.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by weird, single-player, co-op.
