How it feels

A deep, turn-based tactical roguelike where careful character builds and permadeath make every dungeon crawl a tense, strategic survival challenge.

What players say

Players love the staggering class and build variety, calling it the best in the genre, and find the risk-reward of chest traps and permadeath addictive. The game is brutally difficult, but adventure mode helps new players learn. A notable minority report game-breaking bugs on startup or with RTX cards, and the game is described as ugly yet deep.
