  • gameplay34 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by unique and innovative mechanics, including a fluid combat system reminiscent of Souls-like games, and the incorporation of microphone-based interactions that add a quirky twist. While many players appreciate the creativity and fun factor, some criticize the repetitive nature of the levels and the overall execution, describing it as a mix of solid mechanics and lackluster design. Overall, the game offers an engaging experience with a blend of originality and some frustrating elements.

    • “The gameplay in this game is slick and controls well.”
    • “Easy to learn, hard to master, can be punishing but mechanics are intuitive and exciting to explore with equipment skills letting you play the way you want.”
    • “Good solo roguelite, fun and unique gameplay mechanisms.”
    • “Overall, an amazing concept, a mechanically fun game, but lackluster in almost all departments.”
    • “The combat's pretty decent & fluid, but the gameplay is repetitive, the levels are very generic copy/paste with nothing inside but enemies and the occasional chest, the English translation is lacking, and after not too long at all grinding through all the fighting just becomes boring.”

  • music29 mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and variety, with a calming soundtrack and unique gear that interacts with audio inputs for gameplay effects. Players enjoy the humorous and inventive use of music as a gameplay mechanic, such as using microphone input to enhance abilities or trigger buffs. However, some users noted issues with music looping and the limited number of tracks available, which can detract from the overall experience.

    • “Unique gear, good music, and varied worlds you can travel to.”
    • “The soundtrack was great too, very calming.”
    • “Amazing gear perks that are quite funny in some ways, like if you have in-game music at max you get a 10% player buff along with most of the gear perks using your microphone to activate.”
    • “Most of the time it would just stop rendering anything (from sound you can hear that you can walk around and stuff) and then crash if you alt-tabbed, and in windowed mode it would just hang with the music running.”
    • “Downside is short game, and terrible looping music on one very specific set of gloves.”
    • “Sing 2 songs on repeat at max volume.”
  • graphics25 mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally described as decent, featuring a clean low-poly art style reminiscent of many Unity games. While some players appreciate the innovative mechanics that tie gameplay to graphics card performance and microphone input, others find the overall aesthetic and art direction unappealing. The unique gimmicks, such as weapon effectiveness based on graphics settings, add a quirky charm but may not satisfy those seeking high-end visuals.

    • “In fact, the art style is quite nice!”
    • “The low-poly art style looks clean.”
    • “I really loved the gear that had you do things like play with lower fps to get bonuses or the gear that gave you a better bonus dependent on how old your graphics card is.”
    • “Graphics are okay but definitely look like most Unity games.”
    • “The art style, art direction, and UI design are also not my cup of tea.”
    • “This game doesn't like high-end graphic cards.”
  • humor16 mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by its quirky and unique mechanics, such as using loud noises and microphone integration for in-game perks, which many players find amusing and creative. However, some users note that the novelty can wear off quickly, leading to frustration rather than laughter. Overall, the game is described as funny and weird, with a mix of hilarious items and enjoyable combat, making it a fun experience despite some minor annoyances.

    • “It's an alright, janky indie game with hilarious and unique equipment ideas.”
    • “Very funny, very weird, every game should have mechanics that incentivize you to make loud and random noises or screw up your graphics settings so that you can get in-game perks.”
    • “Went into it because of the very funny items I had seen, and not only do the items exceed my expectations by the end with how funny and unique they happen to be, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself with a fun combat system featuring cool bosses.”
  • grinding14 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the challenge and find the repetitive tasks rewarding, others criticize the gameplay for being tedious and lacking variety. Many reviews note that grinding is necessary for progression, especially for obtaining better equipment and defeating tougher bosses, but it can become monotonous due to generic level design and a lack of engaging content. Overall, while the grind can enhance the experience for some, it may deter others looking for a more streamlined adventure.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “It's also quite grindy with an amateur feel to just about everything.”
    • “The combat's pretty decent & fluid, but the gameplay is repetitive, the levels are very generic copy/paste with nothing inside but enemies and the occasional chest, the English translation is lacking, and after not too long at all grinding through all the fighting just becomes boring.”
    • “That's it, outside of that it's a really whatever Diablo/Hades style game with a lot of grinding, too much poison, and some *really* terrible level gimmicks (poison enemies that are invisible, stunlock you, and require you to step on lightning traps that inexplicably don't hurt you????)”

    The story in the game has been widely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players finding it poorly translated and lacking in meaningful content.
