How it feels

A tense, strategic turn-based crawl through a doomed medieval world, where each run demands careful resource management and grim decisions against a backdrop of cosmic dread.

What players say

Players are split on this tactical roguelike. Some enjoy the challenging combat and Arthurian story, but many criticize a lack of meta-progression, no saving during runs, and short playtime. Performance issues like crashes and a fixed camera also draw complaints.
