  • Engaging and addictive gameplay with a solid foundation and potential to grow into a great roguelike.
  • Unique inventory and crafting mechanics that add depth and strategic variety to builds.
  • Appealing art style and soundtrack that create a distinct and pleasant atmosphere.
  • Currently very limited content and progression systems, making early levels feel repetitive and overly difficult.
  • High reliance on RNG for skill upgrades and item drops leads to frustrating difficulty spikes and lack of player agency.
  • Bugs, UI issues, and lack of tutorials or explanations hinder player understanding and overall experience.
  • gameplay
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers deep and enjoyable mechanics with skill customization, equipment management, and crafting that add strategic depth, though it currently lacks content variety and long-term progression. Players appreciate the core systems and challenge but note the early access state means limited spells, occasional frustration, and a need for more areas and quality-of-life improvements. While some criticize balance and grind, many find the gameplay promising and engaging for a roguelike.

    • “It gives you plenty of choice in skills and their modifications while going through the dungeons and has interesting equipment management with movable slots, items interacting with each other to boost stats further, and a crafting mechanic where you combine items to create new ones.”
    • “Just when I thought I’d seen all the items, the game started dropping rarer ones and I realized how deep the mechanics go, especially with crafting, where you combine multiple weapon tiers to create something truly overpowered.”
    • “I’ve been waiting for a game like this that mixes backpack battles mechanics with bullet hell chaos.”
    • “Aside from the very limited spell pool, as others have mentioned, gameplay is really rough.”
    • “I love the music and I like the art, but the experience is just too frustrating at the current state with little player engagement in its gameplay.”
    • “Should caution though that I'm done with it for now and will give it another chance once it's had a few updates, so if a few hours of promising but very early gameplay is not enough to interest you, steer clear for now.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature a unique and charming art style that quickly grows on players, complemented by pleasant visuals and solid aesthetics. While visually appealing, some effects could benefit from more transparency to enhance enjoyment. Overall, the game shows strong graphical promise but could use refinement to fully realize its potential.

    • “The graphics and art direction are also pleasant to the eye.”
    • “Overall the game shows a lot of promise - it's engaging, aesthetically pleasing and serves a good bit of challenge without feeling too overwhelming.”
    • “When it comes to the graphics, I had never seen this kind of art style before, but it quickly grew on me and ended up being something I really liked.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally enjoyable with a promising foundation and interesting setting, though some players find the early missions engaging while later parts, like the third mission's difficulty spike, can be frustrating. The narrative has potential but is currently hindered by gameplay and technical issues.

    • “I can see myself playing this game on and off as it develops and I actually quite enjoy the storyline that's in place so far.”
    • “Overall, for an early access game, it has a lot to show. It's a great foundation to extend and introduce an even more interesting story.”
    • “The 'story' is okay, the setting is nice (although the visual design looks way too clean for the scenario).”
    • “Had a lot of fun first, but it gets absolutely annoying at the third mission.”
    • “In that mission is a permanent chasing dog, when he gets close to you he deals an insane amount of damage (you are two-hit).”
    • “I've gone past the 15-minute mark on the last mission, so I'm happy with that and will now wait for future updates.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game offers both rewarding and repetitive experiences; some players enjoy extended farming sessions and testing builds, while others find the process dull and frustrating due to a steep difficulty curve and limited early content. Pacing and build optimization are key to making grinding feel engaging.

    • “Even if the content is thin, if I saw it all in a few hours but it was paced well, I'd be more enthusiastic about returning, instead of grinding for a few hours against a steep difficulty curve, then leaving before the game opened up, and wondering how much I didn't see.”
    • “Lots of very dull grinding.”
    • “Getting your best times takes some grinding and, more importantly, solid builds.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its fitting and beautiful composition that enhances the distinct atmosphere created by the art. Players who typically mute soundtracks find this one worth keeping on. However, the limited number of tracks may affect overall engagement.

    • “The visual presentation is a standout; the beautiful art creates a distinct atmosphere that pairs perfectly with the music.”
    • “I'm usually the type to mute in-game soundtracks, but the fitting music here is actually worth keeping on.”
    • “The one (no kidding) music track sounds great.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is generally stable but has some notable bugs; however, it runs exceptionally well on the Steam Deck.

    • “Runs great on the Steam Deck!”
    • “It's too buggy.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is highly praised for its stunning visual presentation and beautiful art, which combine seamlessly with the music to create a distinct and immersive experience.

    • “The visual presentation is a standout; the beautiful art creates a distinct atmosphere that pairs perfectly with the music.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization is criticized for being a cash grab, with high prices despite limited content, poor balance, and a grind-heavy item system. Additionally, minimal updates are expected, making it less appealing compared to other roguelikes.

    • “It's a cash grab with developers who plan to almost never update the game. Play one of the other millions of roguelikes out there. This is just another unbalanced POS with bad mechanics, an item system that requires grinding for hundreds of extra hours, almost no content, and it costs more than other similar games.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a humorous tone that complements its roguelike gameplay, with users particularly appreciating the witty inventory mechanics.
