There's a slot-machine appeal to the randomized weapons and their garish, over-the-top effects that carried me along for a surprisingly long time, but tedium eventually set in. The design is messy in ways that aren't artistically interesting (the upgrade system, for instance, is 100% aimless busywork), the narrative's lack of taste is more depressing than shocking, and the visuals, with their crude pixel art half-obscured by a deluge of particles and bloom, soon become exhausting to look at.
