About the game
Death is not the end. You’ve been chosen as the Ankou, a servant of Death who aids lost souls using the tools of your old trade. Roam haunted lands to find resources, craft weapons, and slay hordes of demons in this action-exploration roguelike.
Minimum specs

The value story
34 discounts in the 3 years on record, a median of 25 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 40 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is cheaper than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 87 percent. Army of Ruin ($7.99, scores 68) outscores it, and so does Soulstone Survivors ($10.49, scores 75). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
I was so sad to hear that development on this had stopped (there were issues with the publisher I believe) This game had a lot of promise, and is still worth playing in its incomplete state.
1 more review, not recommended
This game had a lot of potential, but unfortunately, development has ceased. Something about the studio running out of funding, as far as I understand it.
