What players say

Players praise the fluid gameplay, catchy music, and creative art, often comparing it to Risk of Rain. It is a short game, beatable in about an hour, with replay value from higher difficulties. However, players note a lack of bosses, and the ranked mode alters upgrade progression to add strategic depth.
