The story is engaging and well-crafted, featuring strategic elements that allow players to form alliances or rivalries with various factions. It is delivered through text-based cutscenes and enhanced by strong graphical design, with a high replayability factor due to procedurally generated environments and multiple perspectives on events. Overall, the narrative has seen significant improvements during early access, making it a compelling aspect of the game.
“It has nice strategic aspects and the story was impressive, with the ability to make friends or foes of various factions.”
“The dynamics of the fights are entertaining and the story engages.”
“The graphical design suits perfectly the story and it seems a lot of care has been put into distinguishing each character.”
“Though beating the main campaign could be a matter of hours (if you are really skilled, this game is tough!!!), its replayability value is really high as the story and the environment are procedurally generated.”
“I got this game in early access and I've seen how the developers have enhanced things I complained about, like polishing the story or improving music during combat.”
“Content-wise, currently you can play through the first three regions and there are enough locations and events to keep it replayable for a while, especially as you can experience certain events from different points of view, learning new elements of the story.”

The game offers high replayability due to its procedurally generated story and environments, allowing players to experience different events and perspectives. While the main campaign can be completed relatively quickly, the variety of locations and events ensures that players will find enough content to keep them engaged for multiple playthroughs. However, it may not reach the replay value of similar titles like FTL.
“The overall approach is simple, but effective and provides great replay value.”

The gameplay is engaging, especially for fans of old-school roguelites, featuring a party-based system for up to four characters and two distinct gameplay layers. However, some players feel the game is overpriced at $16 due to its limited hours of content, and while it offers interesting mechanics, the controls and UI may require some adjustment. Overall, it is considered accessible but may not provide a challenging experience.
“If you're into old school roguelites with some new interesting game mechanics, you're in for a treat!”
“The game is a party-based roguelike (up to 4 characters) that features two different gameplay layers.”
“It's not a hard game, but it takes a bit of time to get used to the current controls and UI given the amount of different mechanics that come into play.”
“Fun game, but it's overpriced at $16, as it's probably only several hours of gameplay.”
“Also, it's not a hard game, but it takes a bit of time to get used to the current controls and UI given the amount of different mechanics that come into play.”
