What players say

Players are split on this deckbuilding roguelike. Some enjoy its atmosphere and return yearly, while others find the combat repetitive with bosses that are just HP sponges, a shallow card pool that leads to similar decks every run, and a UI that feels sluggish. The game is also noted as being short for a roguelike, with runs that can take up to two hours.
