gameplay6 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • Highly addictive gameplay loop with satisfying build variety and deep skill evolution system.
  • Smooth performance and optimization even with large numbers of enemies and effects on screen.
  • Engaging meta-progression system and varied trial objectives add meaningful long-term progression and replayability.
  • Visual clutter and excessive special effects sometimes make it difficult to track enemies and abilities during intense combat.
  • RNG-heavy upgrade system can limit player control over builds and lead to balance issues between spells and classes.
  • Limited map variety and content in Early Access with some repetitive trial types and occasional pacing issues.

  • gameplay

    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 59% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally well-received for its addictive loop, variety of classes, spells, and strategic loadout mechanics, blending elements reminiscent of titles like Hades and Vampire Survivors. While some find it linear and note potential repetitiveness or restrictive RNG, the diversity in objectives and evolving skills helps maintain engagement, with minor issues typical of games still in development. Overall, the gameplay is solid, easy to grasp, and offers a fun, strategic experience.

    • “Objectives vary enough to keep gameplay fresh, encouraging experimentation with different builds and character classes.”
    • “Each one has an evolution with 3 choices with at least 2 having skill mechanic changes.”
    • “There are two locations to explore, five different classes to play, and a wide variety of spells, many of which have unique mechanics. That variety keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging.”
    • “Feels like the gameplay loop will get stale later on unless something more is added.”
    • “Spells are interesting, most seem useful, but the RNG is too constricting to gameplay.”
    • “Due to the lack of projectiles and attack variances, some game mechanics stop mattering.”

  • optimization

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    Optimization in the game receives mixed feedback: many praise its smooth performance and ability to handle massive on-screen action without lag, while others report significant performance degradation during longer runs, especially in early access. Some users express frustration with ongoing optimization issues, stressing that poor performance detracts from the experience and urging the developers to prioritize fixes to avoid refunds and lost sales. Overall, optimization shows promise but needs improvement for sustained, consistent gameplay.

    • “It's amazingly optimized, not a single shred of lag to be found even with a massive number of monsters and skills on screen!”
    • “Smooth performance coupled with punchy combat and worthwhile ability upgrades makes for a great experience.”
    • “Good difficulty progression, feels optimized, and offers a lot of fun builds!”
    • “Performance degradation: the first few trials run fine, but performance progressively tanks the longer you stay in a single run.”
    • “If you launch in early access then optimization needs to be a priority because first impressions are important. If the game lags or suffers stutters, I certainly have no time for it. It was apparent immediately that performance was not good and would get much worse the longer you played. Less than 20 minutes in, I closed the game because of its lack of optimization.”
    • “I wasn't expecting a massively deep game here, just a chill time passer with decent meta progression, and maybe the game would surprise me beyond that. I think it might have, if not for the lackluster performance. I'm going to request a refund. I wonder how many games, sales, and how much money devs lose to refunds because of their pitiful optimization. Food for thought.”

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The game features a pleasant and satisfying art style with impressive visuals that enhance the gameplay experience. However, performance issues, especially on devices like the Steam Deck, limit smoothness at lower resolutions due to limited graphics settings. Overall, the graphics are solid and visually appealing, contributing to an engaging experience.

    • “Such a fun game, nice art style and plenty of build options for runs.”
    • “The visuals are awesome, and even on max difficulty the game keeps running fine.”
    • “On a Steam Deck, even at 50% resolution, the game regularly runs under 30fps and there are not many graphics options to adjust (basically just one setting).”
    • “This genre and art style obviously breed performance issues, so I sympathize; however, don't even release it in Early Access if you haven't got it running smoothly. You almost had my money.”
    • “Solid graphics and smooth play even with a map full of mobs.”

  • story

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    14% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The game features no story, with users noting repetitive missions and no narrative progression, though some appreciate certain gameplay modes like the new endless mode. The escort missions receive mixed opinions but don't contribute to a storyline experience.

    • “But could stand to do without the escort missions.”
    • “Cool game but dying inside every time I face escort missions.”
    • “I like the game, but having only 3 repeating missions while advancing through stages makes no sense.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The music is generally decent and complements the fast-paced, mystical atmosphere well, though it doesn't particularly stand out and could be improved. Overall, it supports the experience without detracting from it.

    • “Combined with an energetic soundtrack that complements the fast-paced action, the presentation succeeds in creating an atmosphere that feels both mystical and action-packed.”
    • “Music could be a bit better.”
    • “Sound and music are fine, nothing that really stands out to me, but it doesn't take away from the experience either.”
    • “The music is decent enough and the art style is satisfying.”

  • grinding

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

    Users find the game requires significant grinding to unlock builds needed to overcome the difficulty, making progression feel repetitive and demanding additional time or resources.

    • “Because of this, the game kind of becomes a grinding experience to unlock possible builds to still beat the same difficulty.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”

  • replayability

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

    Users find the game highly replayable and are enthusiastic about exploring future content updates, which promise to enhance the experience further.

    • “Runs great on my ROG Ally X.”
