What players say

A game that tries to be a roguelike with smash bros controls and replayability that doesn't manage to do any of the three right, it's repetitive, stiff and the only saving grace is the dialogues and boss designs (not the gameplay, the design themselves) to get some achievements you'd have to grind for 40 hours.

Honestly? Not a fan. Combat is way too clunky, the power-ups are mostly meaningless, 50% of the enemies are flying stuff, and the roguelite structure is... confusing... To say the least. You have to replay levels to get stronger to fight the final boss, but the currency is your life points (???) and you depend on randomly selected rooms for the "shop" to spawn to get stronger. In the meantime, there is basically no...

Decent enough game with an amazing art-style and fun music that is unfortunately accompanied by controls too clunky for the type of combat experience it wants you to have, It feels like a game I would have definitely enjoyed as a kid but it's not something I can honestly recommend.
