  • Engaging and replayable roguelite dungeon crawler with multiple classes and diverse builds.
  • Challenging but fair combat system requiring tactical use of charging attacks and dodging.
  • Good value for price with a sizable amount of content, charming hand-drawn art, and atmospheric music.
  • UI and inventory management issues, such as confusing buff tracking and inability to rearrange equipped weapons or spells easily.
  • Level design can become repetitive with excessive traps and pitfalls that slow down pacing and cause frustration.
  • Some balancing issues with certain classes and weapons, along with occasional bugs affecting gameplay experience.

    The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some criticizing it as simplistic and outdated, relying heavily on repetitive tactics like circling and shooting. However, others appreciate the initial tutorial, challenging yet fair mechanics, and the variety of build options that enhance replayability in this fantasy rogue-like experience.

    • “When you first start, you'll be led through a short tutorial that introduces the basic functionality and mechanics of the game to you.”
    • “As mentioned, the game can be tough, but as you learn more about the mechanics and enemy behaviours things become easier, and deaths never feel cheap (which is something that can really hinder games like this).”
    • “The gameplay is fun, and I really like the different build options and replayability.”
    • “This game is awful, there is no thinking involved in any gameplay, just back-circle strafe away from everything as you shoot at it, gameplay from circa 1990.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The graphics feature a charming, hand-drawn art style that stands out with its unique and appealing design, though its simplicity may lead to some repetition. Overall, the visual presentation is well-received and adds to the game's roguelike and dungeon-crawling experience.

    • “Really good roguelike, there's a lot of customization and the graphics are very charming.”
    • “The graphics are neat, especially the hand-drawn character sprites, which reminded me of Devil Spire.”
    • “Fun dungeon crawler with cool, unique art style.”
    • “The fact that the game art style is also quite simple doesn't really help: in essence, you are going to see a lot of the same stuff, again and again.”

  • replayability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers enjoyable and solid replayability, especially due to its randomized dungeon mechanics and diverse build options. While current content like the single final boss limits its depth, players feel adding more content could enhance replay value further. Overall, it's a fun and replayable experience, particularly for a smaller dungeon crawler.

    • “The vibes are sick and I hope this game gets more content. It's super replayable, but I feel it could be even more (right now the final boss is only the lich, maybe adding more, etc).”
    • “The gameplay is fun, and I really like the different build options and replayability.”
    • “If you're looking for a smaller, but still decently replayable randomized dungeon crawler, this game should be a good choice for that.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music effectively complements the game's ambiance with slow, subtle background tracks that enhance the immersive atmosphere as players explore deeper into the fort. Overall, it is praised for contributing positively to the game's mood.

    • “The music matches the ambiance, being slow and mostly in the background, as you're creeping deeper into the fort.”
    • “I have just briefly scratched what the game has to offer, but I already love the atmosphere and music!”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game involves breaking numerous small crates and pots for resources, but the lack of a quick-kick option and the need to repeatedly damage objects makes this process tedious and frustrating, especially depending on your class or weapons.

    • “There are a lot of little crates and pots to destroy for resources, but they have health to break and there is no kick option. Depending on the class or weapons you have, it becomes really tedious and annoying real fast.”

  • story

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story is concise and well-paced, avoiding unnecessary friction to extend playtime, making it suitable for a shorter, focused experience rather than a lengthy narrative.

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the game's atmosphere, highlighting it as immersive and enhanced by its music, which contributes significantly to the overall experience.
