I don't think this game has a story? You're a duck and you have a gun.
This is the second last of my "bought it on Switch because it was cheap and the cover caught my eye" and while I only played a third of the game, I think I got my two dollars' worth! I had ZERO idea what was going on at first (the B button doesn't do ANYTHING and you have to use the ZR button to fire the gun???? I think there was a tutorial but I was just in it like I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIRE THE GUN I NEED A MORE BASIC TUTORIAL and eventually I hit random buttons until it worked) but then I figured it out and I was getting better! And getting further! I went from barely being able to reach the first boss to feeling like a run was a disaster if I didn't reach and beat that boss! And then I realized after a few hours of dying in the second area that my progress was coming MUCH slower than it had been before, and HowLongToBeat's fourteen hour figure apparently only applies to people who don't suck at bullet hell (I feel like that term's not accurate BUT I SAW IT IN A REVIEW AND I ASSUME OTHER PEOPLE KNOW BETTER THAN I DO) roguelikes because seven and a half hours in I was still nowhere near beating the second boss out of six, so...I called it a day. I was having fun, but not enough to justify the unhinged number of hours it would presumably take me to finish this game.
Maybe I'll come back to it! Maybe I won't! WHO'S TO SAY????
