How it feels

A fast-paced hack-and-slash dungeon romp where you and friends repeatedly fight swarms of enemies, level up, and try to survive permadeath runs.

What players say

Players call it a simple but fun roguelite in the style of Risk of Rain, with shrines, pets, and plenty of item combos. The game has persistent crashes, especially in multiplayer, and some say the difficulty and enemy behavior need more polish.
