  • The combination of roguelike elements and shop management is innovative and adds depth to the gameplay.
  • The game is addictive and provides a good amount of content for its price, with potential for future updates.
  • The game lacks longevity, as it ends once you pay off your debts, leaving players questioning what to do next.
  • Many scenarios are too easy and short, leading to a lack of challenge and replayability.

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it repetitive and lacking depth, particularly in the early stages where options are limited. Others appreciate the mechanics and the variety of win conditions, suggesting that while the game could benefit from a more robust upgrade system, it still offers enjoyable experiences for those willing to engage with its mechanics. Overall, the game is seen as underpriced for its potential, with some players willing to pay more for a more developed experience.

    • “You think you would play through each run learning the mechanics in and out while passively making your shop better for the next run.”
    • “The price point is lower than it should be; I would've easily paid $10-15 for it in its current state because the actual gameplay is just that good.”
    • “I didn't get sick of the gameplay at all, as the different win conditions and unlockable perks change how you attack things further down the line.”
    • “The core gameplay really isn't much and gets repetitive... you're making nearly zero money at the beginning of a scenario and have pretty much zero in-game options because your shop stinks.”
    • “It's very cheap but I'd rather pay double or triple to get more fleshed out mechanics and scenarios that I can really invest an hour or so into.”
    • “Idk, other people seem to find the game's lack of mechanics fun, but I just found it lacking. I've played free roguelikes with more potential...”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, characterized as upbeat and enjoyable, though some users feel that the overall art and music lack depth and character.

    • “The music is good.”
    • “The upbeat music adds a lively atmosphere to the game.”
    • “The art and music don't feel very solid to me, and there's no character to them.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the end-game experience to be somewhat grindy, leading to a loss of motivation to maximize transactions, as they tend to rush through selling items once they feel confident in their success.

    • “The end-game feels a little grindy, and at that point, you lose the sense of trying to get the biggest bang for your buck with your transactions. You just feel like selling everything as fast as you can because you know you have the run in the bag.”
    • “Grinding becomes tedious after a while, making the gameplay feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding can really take away from the overall enjoyment of the game, leaving players feeling burnt out.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability compared to other roguelikes, primarily appealing to players who enjoy unlocking upgrades or aiming for personal bests in completing scenarios.

    • “The game offers a wealth of replayability, with numerous upgrades to unlock and personal records to beat, making each playthrough feel fresh and exciting.”
    • “Every run feels unique, thanks to the variety of scenarios and challenges that keep you coming back for more.”
    • “The dynamic gameplay ensures that no two sessions are the same, providing endless opportunities for exploration and strategy.”
    • “There's not as much replayability as other roguelikes unless you're trying to unlock all the upgrades or get a personal record on how fast you can win a scenario.”
    • “Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to go back and play again, as the experience feels largely the same.”
    • “The lack of diverse outcomes and branching paths makes replaying the game feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
