How it feels

A frantic, strategic scramble to survive by frantically managing your backpack inventory in real-time.

What players say

Players compare it to a cross between Vampire Survivors and Backpack Battles. The inventory screen never closes, which some find annoying. Many love the build synergy and co-op, while others say it gets repetitive quickly and progress feels slow.
