The gameplay is a unique blend of shmup and action RPG elements, featuring a team mechanic with diverse character classes that offer varied abilities, enhancing replayability and challenge. While it lacks multiple difficulty levels, the game provides a moderate challenge with a straightforward loop that allows players to quickly assess its appeal. Overall, it is praised for its fun, well-paced mechanics and engaging pixel art, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre.
- “There are not multiple difficulty levels by default that I can tell, and I haven't fully completed the base run yet, but it's a nice moderate challenge with room to master a few different mechanics/characters to keep it interesting. With the significant roguelite perma-upgrades between runs, I'm pleasantly surprised at its relative accessibility and replayability while still preserving a sense of challenge.”
- “This game does feel somewhat uniquely like its own thing. I feel like saying it's just a shmup skinned as an ARPG might be technically accurate but doesn't quite do the unique vibe justice; it really feels like a high-fantasy action RPG and a shmup had a baby, even if a lot of that is just tweaking the shmup gameplay formula with melee attacks and the slow-paced, ground-unit style maneuvering.”
- “I'm not the biggest fan of the team mechanic, but I still recommend it.”
- “Worth a try, and with such a simple gameplay loop, you can get a feel if it's your jam or not within the 2-hour span in which you can refund it anyhow.”
- “What really hooked me was the hero system — you can build your team with very different classes, each with their own abilities, which keeps the gameplay fresh and varied.”
