What players say
Really nice game. Medium length but fun. Not every game needs to be a live service 1000 hour extravaganza.
surprinsingly super fun to play and their story isnt bad its the opposite, they make the characters really enjoyable and all of them have their personality, i would say if you like rogue-likes or rogue-lites give it a try dont think twice and if you like games like 2d scroller with different sceneries places to explore and the variety of builds also do it, the game its on offer really often and you dont be...
Not too long but lots of stuff to be done especially if you want to 100%. Good variety of builds you can have too. Really enjoyed it
