Our take on Vindictive Drive 2: Maidbot Archive
The broad mix of exploration, squad composition, upgrades, and boss encounters trades a narrowly focused shooter structure for greater build and route variety. That scope also places more attention on assembling combinations of Maidbot skills and buffs than on a single fixed combat style.
