The gameplay is characterized by an addictive main loop that keeps players engaged, despite initial impressions of simplicity. It features a well-balanced mechanic for item collection and a skill tree that encourages strategic planning, alongside a push-your-luck element that adds depth to dungeon exploration. Overall, while the game may appear unremarkable at first glance, it offers a rewarding and enjoyable roguelite experience.
“Lots of work still needed, but the main gameplay loop is extremely addictive. I keep finding myself hoping for more levels to try and make my character overpowered.”
“It sounds too dead-simple to be interesting, but the complexity comes from a pool of stacking randomly dropped items, comparable to 'Risk of Rain'. The skill tree, while seemingly basic, is engaging with the potential to juggle various combinations and strategies. The push-your-luck mechanic of retiring from dungeons early for a 'permanent' chest adds an exciting risk-reward element.”
“A game that looks boring on the surface, but inside is a pretty fun mechanical experience—a good take on roguelites.”
“It's one thing to not have music during the gameplay, but it feels really weird watching the beginning cutscene without any sound whatsoever.”
“It sounds too dead-simple to be interesting, but the complexity is from a pool of stacking randomly dropped items, comparable to 'Risk of Rain'. The pool is substantial but smaller than many similar games, and you collect far more duplicates than most titles in the genre. The skill tree also seems overly basic at a glance but is rather engaging in terms of the potential to juggle various combinations with short and long-game strategy, along with a push-your-luck mechanic of retiring from dungeons early to get a 'permanent' chest or risk it all to see if you can go another 5 floors for better chances of a better chest.”
“You find items everywhere, but you have to buy them to pick them up. While this sounds weird logically and mechanically cumbersome, it turns out that it's balanced exceptionally well to where it is extremely enjoyable.”
