How it feels

You fight through endless enemy hordes using runes, striving to survive long enough to face each stage's boss.

What players say

Players praise the original rune-shooting mechanic that sets it apart from other survivors-likes, with a high difficulty that feels rewarding. The game offers many upgrades between runs, though some find the progression grindy, and a few note that level obstacles are not always easy to see.
