What players say

Players love the shop management and Tetris-inspired dungeon looting, but many find the weekly loan payments grind-heavy and dislike the constant manual clicking with no automation. Opinions divide on whether the debt pressure is a fun challenge or tedious work, and the developer gets praise for being responsive.
