I feel like that's the opposite. The cover is weird AF and has nothing to do with the fact it's a pretty good sci-fi SHMUP lol

Unless you got hyped up for hillbilly banjo slappin' action and were disappointed it was a shoot 'em up... ๐Ÿค”

Some banjo action was expected!

Jk it was a fine game and had an awesome cover in a weird way.

Oddly enough, I ended up buying Shadow Dancer specifically because the cover was so bizarre.
