With 24 weapons there’s a ton of replayability as you experiment with different loadout combinations. Players will find certain loadouts may make short work of particular missions, or maybe you want to challenge yourself so you pick weapons that require a little more finesse.

“We want all our friends to be able to play the game and have a good time, so we included accessibility features such as auto-fire and the ability to disable rendering of backgrounds and other potentially distracting elements to make it more accessible to everyone.” – Anthony Marinello, lead developer at Katsu Entertainment.
