What makes a good shooting game? Usually waves or levels that build up, enemies with distinct behaviours and satisfying hit feedback — and Dual has each of them in some measure. The skills it leans on are target prioritisation and target prioritisation; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.

Tips and tricks
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
