- “Gameplay is smooth and visuals are nice.”
- “The gameplay is very fluid, quick, and fun to play through; exactly what you would want out of it!”
- “I'm enjoying it so far; it's a bit unforgiving at times, but once you get through the tough parts, it feels rewarding. In that respect, it's a bit like Dark Souls. The gameplay is not similar, but it is very old school. It plays a lot like some of the Gauntlet remakes I've played, but has its own unique spin in the way you collect and use weapons. I like the randomly generated levels; it stops it from getting too samey.”
- “As I suspect that would slow down gameplay too much here, why not simply power down the traps after the monsters in the room are dead?”
