ABOUT THE GAME

STRATEGY & TIPS FOR SIDEFIRE
Keep moving. Standing still to line up the perfect shot is usually riskier than firing while repositioning.
Save your strongest resource (health, ammo, special move) for when you actually need it, not the first tough moment you see.
Practice a level's opening section until the controls feel automatic — most of the skill jump comes from muscle memory, not raw reflexes.
Use cover and terrain instead of trading hits in the open — a fight you can break line of sight in is a fight you can control.
