What players say
By far one of my fav single player game. for me this game has gotten old and the gameplay still gets me riled up when i die after a solid run. would recommend this game to anyone
10/10 it's been a long time since a game has made me talk myself out of play just to take a break. Game for sure has some goofy movement but god it feels so good especially when you kill someone. Highly recommend should definitely give it a try.
The main point of the game, which is the combat, is very ragdolly and janky. The battles all just kinda feel the same regardless of how deep you get into this game. The roguelite element is comically irrelevant, and all the systems in the game don't really have much weight or depth to them, leaving you again with the combat. This kinda feels like a game you can find on Roblox
