“This is a pretty fun game with an interesting combination of roguelike and ARPG mechanics.”
“The roguelike mechanics add an interesting degree of variation into your build during play, and are generally well executed.”
“The dev really knows why PoE is so popular, one of the best PoE-lite games with a lot of similar mechanics, while adding a bunch of unique ones.”
“In terms of game mechanics, my main criticism is that the roguelike elements take more of a back seat in the late game when the most rewarding content is abyss.”
“Plus the art is super cute, I'd play it even if I didn't like the gameplay just for the art style lol”
