  • The game features stunning artwork and a high level of enemy variety, making each run feel rewarding and unique.
  • The weapon balance is impressive, with no build feeling overpowered, and the gameplay encourages strategic movement and dodging.
  • Despite some initial control challenges, the game has a lot of content and potential, with a unique upgrade system and engaging mechanics.
  • Menu navigation and UI design are poorly implemented, making it difficult to use the game with a controller or mouse.
  • The movement controls can be frustrating, as they do not allow for standard WASD movement, leading to awkward gameplay experiences.
  • There are reports of bugs and issues, such as losing progress and unresponsive controls, which detract from the overall experience.
  • gameplay4 mentions

    Gameplay is generally engaging, featuring impressive character and enemy designs, with the latter being among the best in the genre. However, menu navigation is cumbersome, and while controller support enhances gameplay, it struggles with navigation. The game shows promise as a unique roguelike survivor, though some builds are overpowered and may require balancing in future updates.

    • “The character design is clearly amazing here, but the enemy gameplay design is legitimately one of the best in this genre, if not flat out the best.”
    • “After fleshing out most of the gameplay and unlocking stuff, I can say without a doubt this is one of the more interesting roguelike survivors. A couple of builds are completely broken, but I expect that to be fixed with coming updates.”
    • “Menu navigation really needs some love; controller support is good for gameplay but terrible for navigating the game.”
    • “The game does need some work on the mechanical side.”
    • “A couple of builds are completely broken, but I expect that to be fixed with upcoming updates.”

    The graphics are highly praised for their wonderful artwork and unique art style, contributing significantly to the game's appeal. While some players noted occasional control issues, the overall visual presentation enhances the gameplay experience, making each run feel rewarding.

    • “The artwork is wonderful, the difficulty is insanely high, the grind is non-existent and each run feels like you accomplished something.”
    • “The concepts, artworks, and combinations make it worth playing, despite the occasional control mishaps.”
    • “Fun game, and I love the art style!”
  • music2 mentions

    The music in the game evokes nostalgia, drawing comparisons to 70s prog rock and the film "Mandy," while also reflecting a connection to the storytelling style of Michael Moorcock. Despite a sense of loss for the past, the game is appreciated for its independent spirit and artistic influences.

    • “That game, like the film 'Mandy', takes me back to Moorcock's stories and to 70's prog rock music and imagery.”
    • “The music in this game feels repetitive and uninspired, lacking the creativity that could have elevated the experience.”
    • “I found the soundtrack to be quite dull and forgettable, which detracted from the overall atmosphere of the game.”
    • “The audio design is disappointing; the music doesn't match the tone of the game and often feels out of place.”
  • character development1 mentions

    While the character design is praised for its quality, the reviews highlight that the enemy gameplay design stands out as one of the best in the genre, suggesting a strong focus on character interactions and development within the gameplay.

  • atmosphere1 mentions

    Reviewers consistently praise the game's atmosphere, highlighting it as one of its standout features. Many express a deep appreciation for the immersive environment, suggesting it significantly enhances the overall experience.

    • “I don't know if it is intended, but one of the things I'm loving most about this title is its atmosphere.”
