A boy follows his pet frog down a hole and drives a tank called SOPHIA the 3rd through an underground world. It mixes side-scrolling tank exploration with top-down on-foot dungeons.
Kit's verdict · 8.0/10
A cool, inventive mix of tank and on-foot play with a killer soundtrack, held back by no saves.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved

Not so much

Play it if players who like Metroid-style exploration with a twist.
Skip it if anyone who hates restarting a long game.

Tips
Play it better
- Hop out of the tank (Select) to explore small doors and corridors on foot.
- Upgrade your gun in the top-down sections by collecting gun power-ups and don't get hit; hits drop the level.
- On foot, a fall from even a short height can kill Jason, so be careful.
- Use homing missiles on airborne enemies.
- Grenade spam works well against many top-down bosses.
