What drives the score
How to read this
Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $8.39. That was May 2025. 15 discounts in the 16 months on record. They run about 25 percent off, roughly 4 weeks apart. Today's $9.37 at 33 percent off still sits 12 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 20 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 81 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Cogmind ($24.99, scores 78) beats it on value, while it beats Despot's Game: Dystopian Battle Simulator ($19.99, scores 59).

What players say
At first I loved it!! Then I HATED IT!!! then... I LOVED IT!!! translation: Game is extremely fun the first times you play because you don't understand a thing and the world is full of secrets... Then after a while you just keep getting wrecked and wrecked again and again... then...! you learn how to play and just enjoy the game for what it is, without having to worry about the meta progression or anything. 10/10...
cool game, kinda wish they would add more stuff to do, it feels kinda pointless after you beat the game with every character. Maybe like increased difficulty
I really want to love this game but the difficulty progression is insanely unbalanced. Once you have a decent amount of meta progression the game becomes piss easy. The first area is the only challenging part of any run and challenging is barely even the right word to use since that's the part where you aren't really making any decisions yet and are just gambling every floor
