    The gameplay is described as entertaining and engaging, featuring a solid loop with RPG mechanics and good fighting and movement systems, which contribute to its replayability. However, players note a lack of interesting items that could enhance the experience, and while the game performs well on lower-end computers, the absence of online multiplayer is seen as a significant drawback. Overall, it shows promise for future updates, but currently sits at a 7/10 rating.

    • “The gameplay loop is entertaining and engaging; if this had online multiplayer, it would be a 10/10. Right now, it's a 7/10.”
    • “Tldr; endless replayability, performs well on my potato computer, would be super fun with friends, and the fighting and movement mechanics feel good.”
    • “Also features RPG mechanics, so it's not just straight leveling up as in Risk of Rain.”
    • “The game bears signs of good early access like Battle Brothers and Oni, in the sense that the early access release is far from the first iteration of its gameplay.”
    • “In a couple of hours, I unlocked a few characters with different gameplay styles and arrived at stage 5, but at the beginning, it seemed very difficult to pass stage 2.”
    • “There is a lack of interesting items; the game wants to be like Risk of Rain, but it lacks the original items that would spice up your gameplay.”

    The graphics are generally praised for their slick quality and clean design, with a nice art style that enhances the overall experience. However, some players experience performance issues, particularly with a 2D roguelike that struggles to run smoothly despite their ability to handle more graphically demanding games. While the pixelated graphics contribute to a unique aesthetic, they can also lead to recognition issues with items during gameplay.

    • “The music ranges from nice enough to absolutely fantastic, and the graphics are very slick and high quality.”
    • “I have the hope that the simple graphics allow for good content creation.”
    • “I can run Valorant with high graphics at 100+ fps, yet this game (a 2D low graphic roguelike) cannot run properly.”
    • “Graphics are very clean, even though more pixelated, which brings some recognition issues (items mostly).”
