What players say

Lots of Potential. Devs are involved and updates are coming no matter how minor they are. More Early Access games need to be like this. Granted there is not a lot to this game just grind away at the mobs and get to the boss and more than liekely he will be bugged and just stand there while you kill him but again there is potential.

Looks and feels like 3D Dot Game Heroes. Bought for the sole purpose of playing this game co-op multiplayer which works excellent. The game might be a bit too easy on it's first play-through but once you got through that you can start over in NG+. Developers seem to be very involved in the community, still patching regularly after release.

First off, I just wanna say that this isn't a bad game. It's a standard ARPG made with a significantly lower budget. Most ARPG's or overly long and monotonous, and this one takes the cake. All you have to do is make your way through four dungeons, each with six floors. That would be fine, but if you want to clear out each floor in its entirety, it takes a while, especially in the last two dungeons. Actually it isn't...
