It's fun. Reminds me of Rise of the Triad.

I would say this is a rather unique gzdoom engine game in both art and play style. and sure while there is some odd stuff here and there and the interact mirror boss in the first level can be a tough one to get past sometimes, the game play is really fun when you get into it. the levels get bigger and better as you go (3rd one being what sold me on the game), and jumping really high and gliding through the air while blowing up and blasting enemies to pieces leads to quite a good time.
the movement is especially what I like in the game. Abby's fast, she jumps really high, glides through the air and dashes like crazy. you then mix that with a couple dozen enemies at once and you're gliding and dashing all over the place while laying a barrage of rockets and bullets everywhere in sight.
There is also of course lots of good humor and parody references through out the game that are satisfying to see as you progress through the levels, as well as a lot of secrets that are decently done in that they're not super hard to find but you do need to keep an eye out and look for them.

Standard boomer shooter gameplay.
What makes this game stand out compared to other boomer shooters is the profound writing that makes you realize that even the antagonists have complex motivations.
