A classic frenetic shooter that rewards fast reflexes and mastering enemy patterns.

weapon routing and glory-kill loops solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
