How it feels

A straightforward action-RPG with roguelike dungeons and pixel-art charm, offering light exploration and combat.

What players say

Players compare it unfavorably to Binding of Isaac, citing broken controller support that went unaddressed for years. The early game is punishingly hard and boring, but those who push through find a decent roguelike with many items, village upgrades, and multiple endings.
