How it feels
A tense, strategic card-battler that demands careful deck-building and risk-reward decisions across procedurally generated runs.

What players say
Players agree it sets the standard for roguelike deckbuilders, calling it deeply addictive and endlessly replayable. The four characters play so differently the game feels like four games in one, but some find runs too luck-dependent and the ascension grind lacking motivation.
