How it feels

A fast-paced roguelike action game where you fight through procedurally generated myth-inspired arenas using martial arts and magical items.

What players say

Players call it a simpler, easier Hades clone with Chinese mythology, but many find the difficulty too low and the story too short, finishing in a few hours. The translation and UI are rough, and while some enjoy the builds and meta progression, others say there is little real build variety and the game feels unfinished.
