Good fit- Bullet-hell fans who prefer automatic firing to manually aiming and shooting

- Players who require a game fully tested on a platform other than Windows
Our take on HellEscape
Automatic firing shifts combat emphasis away from aiming each shot and toward movement and positioning. The broad selection of characters, weapons, artifacts, and upgrades sits within a game centered on bullet-hell combat, rather than a wider range of gameplay styles.
