What players say
I would love to love this game, unfortunately it plays like glitchy abandonware. I have to reset the resolution and fullscreen every time I enter the game. I get stuck on walls. It crashes constantly and then I also lose my save file and the intel I gathered towards metaprogression. The keyboard controls are clunky and it has no controller support. With some patches, this game could be awesome and fun... but as it...

Personally, I don't think this should've been a roguelike. The weapons have satisfying weight in their sounds and animations, the aesthetic charmingly reminds me of late 90's / early 2000's pc games, the enemies and npcs are all varied but feel cohesive... I could go on. There is so much going for this game that could've made it a small cult classic. Unfortunately, the core gameplay feels unfinished and shallow...
Delightful little romp. Entitled chuds bullied the creator into quitting game development altogether, so it remains very much a what-could-have-been. Sad!
