How it feels

Navigating a hand-drawn, turn-based dungeon with a party of monsters feels like orchestrating a tactical, puzzle-infused expedition through a grim, stylized underworld.

What players say

Players praise Paper Sorcerer's art style and soundtrack, but nearly all warn it is buggy and abandoned by the developer. Some find combat rewarding, while others say random encounters and looting grow repetitive. Reviews split on whether the bugs are tolerable or ruin the experience.
