28 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is a blend of janky, slow-paced third-person action and traditional roguelike mechanics, drawing inspiration from titles like Shiren the Wanderer. While it features interesting character movesets and a unique combination of mystery dungeon elements with soulslike combat, many players find the combat awkward and enemies overtuned, leading to frustration. Despite its charm and tactical gameplay design, the implementation of mechanics like hunger and stealth feels inconsistent, impacting overall enjoyment.
“If you can overcome all this, the game has surprising mechanical depth, a ton of charm. Two out of three of the playable characters have genuinely interesting movesets, and it plays pretty differently from most modern action roguelikes.”
“Mystery dungeon gameplay combined with soulslike combat is a really strong combination, and I think the developers did an excellent job mashing them together.”
“For starters, the combat is fluid, and the gameplay is unique with its dungeon style and ever-evolving levels.”
“Combat and mobility suffer from awkward mechanics, making it hard to engage effectively with enemies.”
“The hunger mechanic isn't properly applied to this sort of game genre; it depletes fairly quickly and it's based on RNG how often you find food (with no downsides).”
“While the game's charm manages to captivate players, it falls short in various aspects, from graphics and combat mechanics to progression balance and presentation.”
