How it feels
A turn-based dungeon crawler where you carefully scavenge, craft, and fight through procedurally generated sci-fi levels, balancing resource management against permadeath's tension.

What players say
Players praise the sheer depth and variety, but warn the game is brutal and luck-dependent. Runs often end due to critical resource shortages like ammo or food, and many feel the later expansions made loot bloat and crafting worse. A full run can take ten to thirty hours, and with only one save, any mistake resets all progress.
