  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for its poor design and artificial difficulty curve, leading to unchallenging and repetitive experiences. While there are some interesting items and difficulty modifiers that could enhance gameplay, the overall mechanics lack depth, resulting in a monotonous combat experience that fails to engage players.

    • “Lots of items that alter the gameplay (instead of just altering stats), which opens room for interesting combinations.”
    • “Difficulty modifiers adjust the gameplay, opening new experiences, instead of simply following a set path.”
    • “There are a few interesting items you'll come across to spice up the gameplay a bit, but at the moment there's not a lot to it.”
    • “Its randomized levels and rogue-like progression are basic and provide very little variety or emergent gameplay besides the basics, and while different mobs spawn everywhere you have no need to adapt or alter your tactics or think ahead... it's all identical 'hold down left mouse button and wait.'”
    • “When most of your game consists of 'hold down left mouse button and wait' in terms of combat or tactical complexity, in a game where combat is 95% of the gameplay - that is a massive issue and needs to be addressed from the ground up.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally considered satisfactory, with many users appreciating the appealing retro style that adds charm to the overall aesthetic.

    • “Graphics are alright.”
    • “The graphic style is appealing to me; the retro look is great.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it pleasant and ambient, others criticize it for being poorly composed and lacking emotional depth. Additionally, there is a call for more variety in the musical tracks to enhance the overall experience.

    • “I like the music; although it would be great to add some more variety.”
    • “Pleasant, non-annoying ambient music.”
    • “The music is poorly composed and sounds like emotionless stock.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find grinding to be frustrating due to the challenging room layouts that feature obstructions and dead ends, making navigation difficult while under attack from enemies. This design often leads to tedious gameplay, requiring multiple attempts to progress.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Some rooms have obstructions that shape the floor into limiting pathways, yet all the enemies in the room can still shoot at you. There are sometimes dead ends in the paths made in the floor of a room, or traps blocking certain floor paths at certain times, which makes navigating extremely tedious to impossible without getting hit in the middle of a projectile storm.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
