- Players who want a small set of tightly scripted stages may bounce off the 15+ freeform-level structure.
- Players looking for multiplayer shooting may not find the listed focus on timed incursions and record comparison suitable.
Our take on CICADAMATA"
The bounce point arrives when movement and combat must be handled together against a running clock. Players who do not want to practice routes in a maneuver sandbox or repeat timed incursions may stop there.
