    The story is generally considered straightforward and pulpy, set in a steampunk world with decent lore and mission variety but lacking deep character development or complexity. While the mission structure and narration are praised for keeping players engaged, the narrative itself is often described as basic, with some finding it uninteresting or anticlimactic. Overall, the story complements the gameplay well enough for fans of the genre, though it may not offer strong long-term replayability.

    • “I think the quest system going through each of its 4 maps is pretty neat. They do a good job establishing the lore and give some context to the things you're doing in the game.”
    • “Meta-progression & combat aside, it's packed full of special and story events as you investigate a mysterious plague across 4 chapters.”
    • “The story beats are well presented and nicely narrated, while the combat design works as intended without bringing anything really new to the table.”
    • “The story itself is quite basic, voice acting is poor, and the ending is anticlimactic.”
    • “Very poor story.”
    • “I skipped all the story text because it was not interesting at all.”

    The gameplay offers a solid, addictive rogue-like deckbuilder experience with meaningful character progression, varied missions, and fluid mechanics that encourage experimentation. While it improves on inspirations like Menace of the Deep, some content is unbalanced and limited, with occasional tedious regeneration fights and a desire for a more guided tutorial. Overall, its depth and synergy-based strategy are praised, though a substantial content update and balancing pass would enhance its longevity.

    • “While it has a few fun twists on common rogue-like deckbuilder mechanics and a solid theme, I suspect it grabbed me because of how powerful the characters feel when they revisit old locations or find the right synergies.”
    • “Addictive gameplay loop, cool cards and upgrades etc. I quite liked the variety of missions - gave me something to keep coming back to play.”
    • “The card mechanics encourage experimentation, and each run feels 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.”

    The game features a striking Victorian steampunk and Lovecraftian art style with strong, flat colors reminiscent of Darkest Dungeon, praised for its aesthetic appeal and smooth animation. The visuals are widely regarded as gorgeous and atmospheric, effectively enhancing the horror and deckbuilding roguelike experience. However, some suggest the overall enjoyment could improve with more content and balance adjustments.

    • “The Victorian steampunk art style is honestly incredible and it looks so good in motion.”
    • “The art style in this game is simply gorgeous.”
    • “This game cannot be explained in any detail based on the Steam page and reviews alone, play the demo for yourself, but it is well done mechanically and has an amazing art style.”
    • “Artworks resemble Darkest Dungeon with a flat color and strong lines style.”
    • “With neat artwork, creepy Lovecraftian monsters, and an impactful progression system, it is a great addition to the deckbuilding roguelike genre.”
    • “The steampunk meets horror art style is distinctive and engaging.”
  • grinding

    Grinding is a prominent aspect of the game, often required to overcome challenging fights and unlock characters, leading to repetitive and sometimes frustrating resource gathering. While some find it necessary for progression, others feel the balance issues and grind-heavy mechanics detract from the overall experience. Despite this, the game offers variety and progression that can somewhat offset the grindiness.

    • “Especially going to the last fight where it seems grinding out levels and additional bonuses is the only way to win due to how little you get before the fight.”
    • “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.”
  • replayability

    Replayability is mixed, with some players finding the game enjoyable for multiple runs due to varied characters, tarot cards, and relics that influence playstyles. However, others feel the pacing and ease of completion lessen the challenge and long-term appeal, making it more suitable for short-term play or when purchased on sale.

    • “Meanwhile, a variety of special tarot ability cards and relics you get randomly on a run will help refine your build, offering up a good amount of replayability.”
    • “Luckily the four playable characters have distinctive playstyles while the relics and tarot cards we can find are the great replayability booster, bringing positive as well as negative effects to each run.”
    • “This game is absolutely amazing, it's a real shame that it is let down a bit by the pacing... I completed all 4 acts and only lost 1 run - it made it a bit easy and ruined the fun of the replayability a lot - it would be nice if they'd made you work harder to get through the act and require a bit more meta progression to do so, and potentially being able to use all the characters a bit before getting to the end.”
    • “It doesn’t have the long-term replayability of the most popular games, but it's worth picking up on a sale to play through the story mode.”
    • “The game is let down by the pacing, making it too easy and ruining the fun of replayability. It would be better if more challenge and meta progression were required, allowing use of all characters before the end.”
    • “The game lacks a hook for replay value, making it fun for only a few hours.”

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its rich Victorian steampunk and Lovecraftian themes, enhanced by stunning art and immersive voice acting. Players consistently highlight the stylish, creepy, and engaging ambiance that effectively brings the setting to life.

    The music and voice acting in the game are generally well-received, with a pleasing soundtrack and decent quality. However, some users note that the music is somewhat familiar, being a modified version from another game, and there are occasional subtitle errors after boss fights.

    • “Overall the art style is nice and the soundtrack isn't bad either.”
    • “Also music and voice acting are quite good, but sometimes Ukrainian subtitles are wrong after boss fights.”
    • “- Ok-tier music.”
    • “Since it is basically a modified version of the other game, the difference in OST just slams in your face.”
    • “Both in terms of voice acting and music.”
