What players say
Very fun gameplay solo and co-op if you like roguelite. I really like the art style.
I'm flabbergasted... I just can't believe i went all the way to beat solo rank 20 before realizing there were "progression rewards" and such... I was thinking the trinkets were some kind of paid content... Anyway... great game, a nice mix between Hades and Homm (at least that's how I see it)
they did maybe 3 updates to the game after release within the span of 4 months and abandoned it. unfortunate. I liked it
