How it feels

A snappy, top-down roguelike with bright anime visuals and randomly generated dungeons that feels playfully arcadey and simple.

What players say

Players describe a casual hack-and-slash that quickly turns punishing. The narrow corridors make enemy attacks nearly unavoidable, and bosses spam abilities without clear openings. The item gacha is slow to earn and often gives junk. While some enjoy the tactical item use, many find the trial-and-error loop repetitive and the balance unfair.
