    The gameplay is praised for its creative and complex battle mechanics, particularly the unique altitude and status effects systems, which add strategic depth and replayability. While the mechanics and character abilities are generally well-received, some players find the onboarding confusing and mention balance issues or occasional bugs. Overall, it offers a fun, challenging roguelike RPG experience with promising potential.

    • “Good and complex battle mechanics like altitude, fear, and hunger.”
    • “The gameplay is very creative, with mechanics about heights and sins; it's worth a try.”
    • “The combat system is great, and the altitude feature, although sometimes annoying, is a creative gameplay mechanic.”
    • “The onboarding experience is below zero: the gameplay is confusing as hell with no clear tutorials.”
    • “The skills and balancing is off right now but I think where the game shines are its main mechanics and monsters.”
    • “It has gameplay similar to Octopath Traveler which I'm always for, however like others have said there's a bug where you freeze in combat and are unable to progress.”

  • graphics

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The graphics are widely praised for their nostalgic, pixelated art style reminiscent of classic 90s games and titles like Octopath Traveler, with appealing animations and effective camera angles enhancing the experience. The aesthetic contributes positively to the gameplay atmosphere, though some users note a slight lack of cohesion. Overall, the visuals are considered charming, fun, and integral to the game's strong sense of style.

    • “The meta progression for individual characters, build combinations via skills and relics, and the aesthetic graphics and animations.”
    • “Great game, beautiful visuals.”
    • “Graphics: 10/10 - I love the pixelated feel!”
    • “Also, props to the devs for their sheer dedication to nostalgia, successfully dragging players back to the 90s with graphics that look worse than cheap bootlegs.”
    • “Core loop is fine and the aesthetics are fine but something doesn't feel cohesive.”
    • “I love the general idea, graphics and gameplay however this game has so much potential but feels underdeveloped.”

  • stability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability has improved with recent patches, reducing bugs and glitches, though occasional crashes and UI issues with mouse controls persist. Controller and mouse inputs remain somewhat buggy but are actively being addressed. As an early access title, some instability is expected, impacting the overall experience.

    • “Font glitches everywhere, and the text skips so fast you’d need the sharingan to read it.”
    • “Controller/mouse controls are a bit buggy at the moment, they're working on a fix.”
    • “However, the UI is very buggy in terms of mouse clicks and hovers, balance is very RNG based and meta progression based, and game occasionally crashes every once in a while.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers strong replayability, enhanced by regular developer updates and a unique character progression system based on a fortune mechanic. This adds depth to the roguelike rhythm, encouraging players to keep coming back.

    • “The replayability is there, and the developers are constantly updating the game and taking in feedback, so get the game while it's cheap.”
    • “Adds yet another layer of replayability into the roguelike rhythm.”
    • “Character progression: 10/10. I feel like the idea behind the character progression using a fortune system helps with the replayability behind the game.”

  • story

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The story in the game is somewhat underdeveloped and feels secondary to the roguelike gameplay, leaving players uncertain about its depth or presence. While it has potential, it currently lacks a strong narrative focus.

    • “Still need to try a little harder on the story, cause I feel like it's not really a part of the game until now.”
    • “The story is a bit underwhelming, but that’s understandable given that it’s a roguelike.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    • “The art style is great, and the music slaps.”

  • character development

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Character development in the game is currently limited, featuring three pre-chosen characters at the start. While the character design is praised for standing out from other turn-based games, players are eager to see more characters and deeper development as the game progresses through early access.

    • “Character design differs greatly from other turn-based games, with three pre-chosen characters available from the start.”
    • “I look forward to seeing the game advance through the stages of early access and hope to see further characters and character development!”

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The optimization is generally poor, resulting in a clunky and unpolished experience despite the clean art and strong concept.

    • “Everything feels unoptimized and clunky, but the art is clean, and the idea is amazing.”
