How it feels

You fight through randomly generated pirate ship dungeons in a top-down twin-stick shooter where each run is unique, difficulty escalates the longer you explore, and you can optionally power up enemies for extra challenge.

What players say

Players compare it to The Binding of Isaac, praising the large item pool that allows for broken combos and risky exploration runs. Some note the easy mode is too easy while the difficulty system is like Hades.
