Review:

There is one word to describe this game: fun. But other than that, there is nothing to look forward too. Let me first start with the graphics. For a game made by an indie developer using low quality tools and such, this game looks great and runs smooth. The animations may be a little cheap, but other than that, it looks quite good. Specials effects are quite nice at times.

Now for the story. Very generic. The story barely interested me at all. I never really even seemed to care about it.

As for sound, well, it wasn't the best thing I have ever heard. THe midi sounds were cheap and repetitive. Overall, it was what I expected.
Now for the best part, gameplay. This is were the game shines. The action is frantic. The weapons are magnificent. The enemies may be stupid and generic, but boy are they fun to kill. WIth the nice assortment of weapons in hand, the action seems to stay fresh for a while, yet getting slightly repetitive from time to time. The sheer number of enemies can get annoying though.

Overall, this game deserves a 3 out of 5, for fun action, but little else.

Conclusion:

I don't think this game is worth buying at the price listed, but if it seems to lower to say around 5 dollars, then it would be.
