  • Extensive build variety with numerous spells and unique evolutions that significantly change gameplay.
  • Smooth performance and ability to handle massive hordes of enemies simultaneously without lag.
  • Engaging meta progression system with relics and upgrades that enhance replayability and long-term character growth.
  • Late-game balance issues where some skills become overpowered and others underpowered, making high difficulties frustrating and reliant on luck.
  • Visual clutter during intense combat can cause difficulty tracking enemies and gameplay elements; accessibility options for visual effects are limited.
  • Progression grind can feel slow and repetitive, with limited content variety and certain modes locked until reaching challenging levels.

  • gameplay

    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The gameplay is engaging and addictive, featuring a solid core loop with well-designed mechanics, diverse classes, and interesting spells that encourage experimentation. While some find the linearity and RNG aspects somewhat limiting, the variety of objectives and loadout customization help keep the experience fresh. Overall, the gameplay is praised for its balance between simplicity and depth, though there are concerns about potential repetitiveness in the late game.

    • “Objectives vary enough to keep gameplay fresh, encouraging experimentation with different builds and character classes.”
    • “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.”
    • “Gameplay is solid, you really need to run from the enemies and plan your route.”
    • “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 feedback is mixed, with some praising smooth performance even during intense action, while others report significant performance degradation over longer runs, especially in early access. Many users emphasize that optimization is crucial for first impressions and express frustration with recurring lag, stutters, and lack of improvement. Overall, while the game shows promise in optimization, sustained performance issues remain a key concern for players.

    • “It's amazingly optimized, not a single shred of lag to be found even with millions of monsters and skills on screen!”
    • “Punchy combat, worthwhile ability upgrades, fun mix and matching of abilities, smooth performance, and balanced difficulty.”
    • “Good difficulty progression, feels optimized, and 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, and if the game lags or suffers stutters, I certainly got no time for it. It was apparent immediately that performance was not good and would get much worse the more time went on; less than 20 minutes before I closed the game because of its lack of optimization.”
    • “I can tolerate limited content in early access or numerous other issues, but one thing I will never accept is crappy performance. I especially dislike seeing the words 'performance' or 'optimization update' because it's never true; developers don't optimize their games anymore (haven't for over a decade+), whether early access games or full releases, it's just crappy or below-par optimization.”

  • graphics

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    58% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game features beautiful and satisfying visuals with a distinctive art style that enhances the fun and addictive gameplay. While graphics are generally solid and smooth even with many enemies on screen, performance issues on lower-end devices like the Steam Deck limit graphical options and frame rates. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the immersive and engaging experience.

    • “Beautiful graphics and cool abilities make this horde survival game a lot of fun to play.”
    • “The visuals are awesome, and even on max difficulty the game keeps running fine.”
    • “Solid graphics and smooth play even with a map full of mobs.”
    • “On a Steam Deck, even at 50% resolution, the game regularly runs under 30fps and offers very few graphics options (basically just one setting).”
    • “This genre and art style obviously breed performance issues, so I sympathize; however, don't release it in Early Access if you don't have it performing smoothly. You almost had my money.”
    • “---{ graphics }---”

  • story

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

    The game has no story, with players noting repetitive mission types and little narrative development, though some enjoy the gameplay challenges despite the lack of a traditional story.

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

  • music

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

    The music is generally described as decent and complementary, enhancing the fast-paced, mystical atmosphere without standing out significantly. While some find it satisfactory, others feel it 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.”

  • replayability

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

    • “So much replayability.”
    • “Replayability is good and I am excited to see what the game has to offer in future content drops.”
    • “Initially it was a lot of fun, but after unlocking the classes and reaching endless mode, the game lacks proper replayability.”

  • grinding

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

    Grinding is a significant part of the game, often required to unlock builds necessary to overcome challenges at the same difficulty level. Players may find it repetitive and time-consuming.

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

  • stability

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

    The game demonstrates solid stability, running smoothly without issues, including on devices like the ROG Ally X. While its features may be basic, performance remains consistently reliable.
