    The gameplay is praised for its addictive, well-executed roguelite tactical combat with deep mechanics, diverse build synergies, and a rewarding progression system, delivering a satisfying and fresh experience. While some find the rogue-lite grind detracts from skill expression and note minor bugs, the core gameplay loop remains highly engaging and promising, especially for fans of tactical roguelikes.

    • “Really pleasant roguelike with a great variety, interesting gameplay and build system, great meta progression, and art style.”
    • “On the gameplay side, the mix of rogue-lite and turn-based tactical combat is really well executed.”
    • “It's basically like you are supposed to die and grind to be able to beat the game over time when you have the upgrades unlocked, which is disappointing because at that point you aren't playing the mechanics, you are arbitrarily grinding.”
    • “Not everything is completely clear on every mechanic.”
    • “The more you master the mechanics to a build and multi synergy, the easier it is to guide your build to a certain exploit.”

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

    Optimization in the game is generally smooth with minor performance issues and occasional bugs, especially during later stages with heavy visual effects causing FPS drops. While early access presents some challenges, overall performance is acceptable and expected to improve by full release.

    • “Smooth performance.”
    • “Some minor performance issues and bugs, but it's in early access. For almost 4 hours of gameplay, I only encountered 2 or 3 bugs, which is not bad compared to other early accesses.”
    • “A lot of complexity and playability, really diving into the optimization and possible combos!”
    • “The game has some performance issues, particularly later in the game when there's a lot of blood on the ground, where the FPS will drop significantly.”
    • “Hopefully with full release, the performance issues will be fixed.”
    • “Some minor performance issues and bugs, but since it's in early access and after almost 4 hours of gameplay, I only encountered 2 or 3 bugs, which is not bad compared to other early access games.”

  • grinding

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

    Grinding in the game is initially tedious but becomes engaging once synergies, builds, and automation are understood. However, some players find it overly grindy, especially when unlocking upgrades and experimenting with late-game builds, which can detract from the core gameplay experience. Fans of farming and turn-based strategy are likely to appreciate this aspect.

    • “It's basically like you are supposed to die and grind to be able to beat the game over time when you have the upgrades unlocked, which is disappointing because at that point you aren't playing the mechanics, you are arbitrarily grinding.”
    • “Makes the game too grindy to unlock everything.”
    • “Unlocking and upgrading relics can feel a little grindy at times, especially when you’re trying to experiment with very specific builds late into the game.”

  • story

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the story and lore for encouraging exploration of unique class combinations through the relic and quest systems, though some wish for a deeper expansion of the overall narrative. The secondary storyline and music also contribute positively to the experience.

    • “Even though I might be a minority on this, I would also like the story and lore to be expanded.”
    • “The relic system creates a ton of interesting synergies and the quest system does a great job pushing you toward classes and combinations you normally wouldn’t touch.”

  • stability

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

    The game runs smoothly and is well-optimized for the Steam Deck, providing a stable gameplay experience.
