Reviews
- The game offers a cheap entry point for players looking for a simple RPG experience.
- There are enjoyable roguelike elements, such as randomly generated layouts and the challenge of managing resources during adventures.
- The game has potential for improvement, and players appreciate the developer's efforts, especially as they work on a sequel.
- Combat is overly simplistic, with only one attack option and a high encounter rate that can lead to frustrating gameplay.
- Visuals are bland and lack polish, with minimal animation and poor sprite representation for equipped items.
- The time limit mechanic can be punishing, making exploration difficult and leading to game overs without sufficient warning.
