What players say

cheeks be clenched. its surprisingly hard and punishing but at the same time you get broken out of nowhere which is pretty fun. some characters too easy tho. music is really good too good vibes all around

Fun game, 100% is quite the grind, but the story and additional characters are quite fun!
DocRecommendedafter 12hMay 2026Read on Steam
A very straightforward roguelike that is easy to learn and hard to master. I've only scratched the surface of items and their combinations. Instant favourite.
