Reviews
- The game features a satisfying core gameplay loop with multiple characters and strategic choices that enhance the feeling of progression.
- It's highly addictive, encouraging players to engage in 'just one more run' due to its quick encounter system.
- The game is well-designed for an early access title, with a good balance of challenge and meta-progression elements.
- Progression feels limited as players must start from scratch with each character, leading to a sense of time investment not being respected.
- Some skill point requirements are overly strict, and there is a lack of customization options, making certain stats feel mandatory.
- The game can feel like a grind with diminishing returns on stacking specific stats and limited loot variety.
