How it feels

A fast, combat-heavy hack-and-slash roguelike with a simple, arcade feel and no story, focusing purely on action.

What players say

Players see potential in the framework but report the game was abandoned in early access with no update for years. Combat feels stiff with long attack recovery, dodge lacks responsiveness, and enemy sounds are missing. Some enjoy the weapons, skills, and VRM model import, but others find the content thin and the difficulty poorly balanced between melee and ranged.
