Reviews
- The game has a charming visual style and cute character designs, particularly the kobold.
- Despite being in early access, the game is fun to play and offers a unique experience with friends, especially with the spammable 'Yip' feature.
- There is potential for improvement, and updates have already made the game more polished and enjoyable.
- Enemies are overly tanky and deal excessive damage, making early encounters frustrating and punishing.
- Health regeneration is slow and ineffective, leading to a feeling of helplessness during gameplay.
- The game lacks content, such as additional characters, maps, and meaningful upgrades, which limits replayability.
