What players say
I have 200% completed this game. I've gotten not just every achievement, but also every single thing that doesn't have an achievement as well. I have had a fantastic time. From the start, struggling to survive and finding new items around every corner I manage to cross, to the end, where I almost crashed the game because there's no projectile limit, and the enemies couldn't absorb all of them! 10/10. Simple, fun...
Very fun game I really enjoyed it <3 Super silly and nostalgic! I have every achievement as of reviewing and it feels good :3
A unique take to the rogulelite genre that takes inspiration from vampire survivor. in the game your take control of your mouse as the player character where you lvl up and unlock new weapons to take down hoards of enemies while transferring different dungeons and battling many bosses
