  • gameplay
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with many players noting that it offers only 10 to 30 minutes of engaging content before becoming repetitive. While some appreciate the charming graphics and fun mechanics, the overall consensus is that the game lacks interesting mechanics and incentives for experimentation, suggesting a need for more levels and gameplay features to enhance the experience.

    • “Avery very fun short game, graphics are cute, gameplay is fun, and the overall feel of the game is great.”
    • “Really fun and with surprisingly deep gameplay.”
    • “Charming short game, has good potential for incremental roguelike mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, there's not much incentive to really experiment after you unlock the synergy between the sword that boosts critical hit rate (momentum) and the armor that converts critical hit rate into raw damage (true strike).”
    • “The game, while a great idea, is quite lacking in gameplay and includes no interesting game mechanics.”
    • “It has about 10-15 minutes of gameplay to beat, and once you do that, there is literally nothing to do.”
  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally praised for their charming pixel art style and overall aesthetic, contributing to a fun and engaging experience. While some users note the game's short length, they appreciate the cute visuals and effective UI. However, a few critiques mention the lack of graphics options, which can affect gameplay.

    • “The graphics have charm, the UI is good, and the overall presentation works well.”
    • “Very fun game, quite short but cool looking with nice pixel graphics and a fun play loop.”
    • “I love the art style and the progression worked very well!”
    • “No graphics options means the bottom of the screen is cut off at the bottom.”
    • “Graphics are doable.”
    • “Good conception, decent execution in the pixel art style, way too short for my tastes, so it gets a 'good.' Make a bigger, better, more graphical version and charge up to $5 for it.”
  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players finding it catchy and enjoyable, though some note it becomes repetitive after a while. However, a common complaint is the lack of options to adjust or mute the music, which can be bothersome for some players. Overall, while the soundtrack is appreciated, the absence of volume controls detracts from the experience for a portion of the audience.

    • “The music is catchy and the various adventurers have great flavor text.”
    • “Good game, it has a simple art style, good music and it's free, would recommend.”
    • “It only took me 22 minutes to complete the entire game but I had so much fun and the music was great and since it's free I greatly suggest downloading it!”
    • “Music is a bit annoying after the first loop and there's no options or anything to turn it off or even just any options at all.”
    • “Lacks settings so can't mute or lower the music.”
    • “Since music is quite loud for me.”
  • replayability
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is largely criticized, with many users noting a lack of depth and meaningful content to encourage multiple playthroughs. While some players find minor enjoyment in replaying for unlocks or randomness, the consensus is that the game quickly becomes repetitive and lacks substantial features that would enhance its replay value. Suggestions for improvements include adding more content, such as new levels and mechanics, to make it feel more engaging for repeated plays.

    • “It has a nice replay value; I didn’t notice the code, which made the next run very interesting!”
    • “This is truly a good game; there should be more traits, more materials, more weapons, definitely more levels and more replayability. Make the game more of a roguelike with unlocks and such.”
    • “An option of trying to do the whole dungeon in one go with all options unlocked from the start as a new game+ would be fun for replayability.”
    • “Zero replayability; strategy was very almost non-existent.”
    • “Although the game has pretty much no replay value except for being able to unlock everything when you restart.”
    • “The game is straightforward and has what I believe is a decent idea, but lacks depth and any replay value.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a substantial story, with players noting minimal narrative elements and character variation. However, the absence of lengthy cutscenes and grinding is appreciated, allowing for a more streamlined experience.

    • “It was a nice run, and while there was very little in the way of a story or hero variation (or at least I got few variations), it doesn't make you grind for hours just to clear a single area or waste time with never-ending back-to-back unskippable cutscenes.”
    • “There's not exactly a story, and there's not much to the game.”
    • “It was a nice run and while there was very little in the way of a story or hero variation (or at least I got few variations), it doesn't make you grind for hours just to clear a single area or waste time with never-ending back-to-back unskippable cutscenes.”
    • “☑ no story”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express that the grinding in the game is excessively time-consuming, suggesting that it requires an almost unrealistic commitment, akin to needing a second life to keep up with it.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and tedious.”
    • “I spent hours grinding, and it felt like I made no progress.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model is straightforward and user-friendly, with no indications of exploitative cash grabs.
