  • Great blend of retro vector graphics and modern roguelike mechanics, with high replayability due to randomized levels and varied enemies.
  • Well-polished presentation including visuals, sound design, and smooth Steam Deck performance.

  • UI and menu navigation are slow and unintuitive, with lengthy unskippable animations and awkward control scheme in menus.
