    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its challenging roguelike mechanics that require players to master various strategies and learn from repeated attempts. While the original mechanics are praised for their uniqueness, some players express a desire for easier modes or additional resources, like an encyclopedia, to enhance the learning experience. Overall, the gameplay is engaging and rewarding for those willing to invest time in understanding its complexities.

    • “I realized I'm a fan of roguelike gameplay after playing this.”
    • “You can unlock more content through multiple plays with in-game currency, but you will have to master the mechanics to progress and unlock characters.”
    • “Once you understand the mechanics, it feels satisfying to progress.”
    • “You can unlock more stuff through multiple plays with in-game currency, but you will have to master the mechanics to be able to progress through the game and unlock characters.”
    • “There's tips for new players and a tutorial, but this is still something you really have to learn the mechanics of and effectively use to make any progress.”
    • “Gameplay is not as easy as you think; you get only 3 lives to get as far as you can, and every time one of your band members 'dies,' you have to start the stage over. The game also requires fast reaction and strategic thinking since everything happens in real time.”
