How it feels

A tense, methodical roguelike where every decision in spell selection and positioning matters against punishing, procedurally generated foes.

What players say

Players praise the deep tactical combat and spell-building but warn it is brutally hard with little handholding. Some say the game changed significantly through updates, and others point to a controversial sequel that reuses the original with added cost.
