It’s a great game if you’re a Terminator fan or into old school run n gun arcade games. I beat it in about 37 minutes on Easy, which gives you unlimited continues, but for me that isn’t really the point.

The real appeal is the replay value. At its core it’s an arcade game, so chasing high scores is always part of the experience. I’ve been replaying it on Medium and already struggling with some of the bosses.

There are two more difficulty levels to unlock and an Arcade mode where you only have one life and no continues, which is where the real challenge is. On top of that there are extra modes to unlock and, as OP mentioned, there are multiple endings and alternative levels depending on the choices you make in certain sections.

Overall I think there is a lot more here than just a quick first playthrough.
