An asteroid has impacted the Earth. Civilization has been wiped out. Some demented people discover the asteroid's fragments contain great power and attempt to rebuild humanity within the Ark. Only problem? Everyone inside has gone insane! Now it is your turn to venture inside and discover what insane plans were being thought up or die trying.
For an isometric shooter, it performs well. Shooting is responsive, dodging is well managed and movement feels good. It does take a little bit of practice to get use to the tight corridors, but it performs well from the bit I have played. Frame rate was consistent thankfully.
Enemy types didn't feel cheap and while death is expected, the hub point offers plenty of advantages to outweigh the potential shortcomings of the procedural-environments coming up short on health items. My only complaint is with the low or absent music and the content, which clocks up to two short levels that I managed to complete in two hours. Achievements will push beyond that limit, but some of them failed to activate. It was enjoyable, but I recommend waiting a bit for some more levels to pop up.
