  • Beautiful Victorian steampunk art style with strong atmosphere and excellent voice acting that enhances immersion.
  • Engaging and accessible deckbuilder gameplay with meaningful upgrades, diverse character playstyles, and a good variety of missions and events.
  • Thoughtful narrative integration with Lovecraftian themes and well-presented story beats, making each run feel reactive and rewarding.
  • The game is relatively short with limited content, leading to reduced replayability once completed.
  • Balance issues with some characters and encounters being either too easy or frustratingly difficult, causing uneven gameplay experience.
  • Some grindiness in unlocking characters and progression, along with occasional UI awkwardness and unclear mission descriptions.
  • story
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally seen as simple and somewhat lacking in depth, with some players finding it uninteresting or confusing, while others appreciate its presentation, narration, and integration with mission variety. Though not a standout element, the narrative supports the gameplay through well-voiced storytelling and a compelling atmosphere that complements the deckbuilding and mission structure. Overall, the story provides enough context and engagement for fans of the original game but may feel shallow or minimal to others.

    • “I give it a thumbs up - the mechanics are nice and the story telling is solid.”
    • “Last thing I'd like to mention is that I enjoyed that all the story text was well voice-acted.”
    • “Meta-progression and combat aside, it's packed full of special and story events as you investigate a mysterious plague across 4 chapters.”
    • “This game is a dumbed down version of Menace with less story, easier progression, and it really doesn't take long to see just about everything the game has to offer.”
    • “I skipped all the story text because it was not interesting at all.”
    • “Very poor story.”
  • gameplay
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its addictive, fluid mechanics that build upon and improve elements from similar games, offering variety through distinct areas and rewarding experimentation with cards and upgrades. While some find it deep and engaging over time, others note balance issues and limited content, particularly with overpowered mechanics reducing build diversity. A few players desire better onboarding, but overall the gameplay is solid, layered, and well-integrated with the narrative and aesthetic.

    • “Addictive gameplay loop, cool cards and upgrades, and a variety of missions that keep you coming back.”
    • “The gameplay is similar to Menace from the Deep but breaks into four separate areas forcing the player to restart their deck and relics each time.”
    • “The card mechanics encourage experimentation, with each run feeling different thanks to solid progression and narrative flair.”
    • “Gameplay was generally meh, art was decent though.”
    • “The core gameplay is solid but there is a serious lack of content.”
    • “Some characters (the mech) and mechanics (stun and spark) are so overpowered that it feels pointless to make any other build.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a stunning Victorian steampunk and Lovecraftian art style characterized by strong lines and flat colors, reminiscent of Darkest Dungeon. The visuals are praised for their beauty, atmosphere, and smooth animation, effectively enhancing the horror and fantasy elements. Overall, the graphics complement the gameplay and narrative well, creating an engaging and immersive experience.

    • “The victorian steampunk art style is honestly incredible and it looks so good in motion.”
    • “The art style in this game is simply gorgeous.”
    • “With neat artwork, creepy Lovecraftian monsters, and an impactful progression system, it is a great addition to the deckbuilding roguelike genre.”
  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features significant grinding, particularly in resource gathering and unlocking characters, with some balance issues making certain battles and characters feel frustratingly repetitive or difficult without extensive investment. While the grind can be excessive and impact pacing, there is still variety and progression that keep the experience engaging.

    • “So much grinding, repetition, and endless loops.”
    • “The balance is pretty bad, the resource gathering is grindy, some characters are blatantly broken, and others border on unplayable.”
    • “When you unlock the rest and try them out they seem like the battles were not balanced for them at all and some of them can't even get done with a run without lots of grinding/investment.”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a rich and immersive atmosphere combining Victorian steampunk and Lovecraftian horror, enhanced by stunning art and compelling voice acting. Players consistently praise its stylish, creepy setting and well-crafted lore that bring the world to life.

    • “The art is stunning, and the voice acting brings the Lovecraftian atmosphere to life.”
    • “I love the Victorian steampunk atmosphere and creepy Lovecraft-style monsters.”
    • “A stylish Victorian roguelike deckbuilder with strong atmosphere and satisfying tactical combat.”
  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Replayability is somewhat mixed, with some players finding the game fun but lacking a strong hook to keep playing after completion, while others appreciate the variety in characters, tarot cards, and relics that add strategic depth and encourage multiple runs. However, the relatively easy pacing and limited meta progression may reduce long-term challenge and replay value for some.

    • “Meanwhile, a variety of special tarot ability cards and relics you get randomly on a run help refine your build, offering a good amount of replayability.”
    • “Luckily, the four playable characters have distinctive playstyles while the relics and tarot cards we find greatly boost replayability, bringing positive as well as negative effects to each run.”
    • “This game is absolutely amazing. I completed all 4 acts and only lost 1 run - it made it a bit easy and slightly reduced the fun of replayability, but the variety of challenges suggests potential for more depth with meta progression.”
    • “This game is absolutely amazing, but it is let down by the pacing. I completed all 4 acts and only lost 1 run, which made it too easy and ruined the fun of replayability. It would be nice if the game required more effort to progress through the acts and included more meta progression, as well as the ability to use all characters before reaching the end.”
    • “Likely not a lot of replayability after you finish the game, though the game is really fun up to that point.”
    • “This can be a fun few hours, but not many, as the game lacks a hook for replay value, at least for me.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is generally well-received, with some users appreciating its quality and impact, especially compared to the original game's soundtrack. However, there are occasional issues with Ukrainian subtitles after boss fights. Overall, the music is considered solid but not exceptional.

    • “Also, music and voice acting are quite good, but sometimes Ukrainian subtitles are wrong after boss fights.”
    • “Since it is basically a modified version of the other game, the difference in OST really stands out.”
    • “Ok tier music.”
    • “Ok-tier music.”
    • “Since it is basically a modified version of the other game, the difference in OST just slams in your face.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the game's humor clever and well-integrated, noting that it extends beyond just the user interface to other aspects of the experience.
