How it feels

A strategic deck builder that feels like a thoughtful and customizable card-crafting journey through layered dungeons, with a moderate pace and turn-based decisions.

What players say

Players praise the card customization and forging system for letting them build overpowered cards between runs, but some find the game gets easier the more they play, making it repetitive. It is compared favorably to Gloomhaven and Disgaea for its grind, though it lacks some polish.
