How it feels

A rhythmic hack-and-slash where the music drives fast-paced combat through roguelite runs.

What players say

Players compare it to a rhythm-based Hades, praising the soundtrack and the beat-synced combat. But most say upgrades feel meaningless, the three weapons are all you ever get, and runs grow repetitive, enemy health scales up too far, dragging fights. Reviews split on whether the rhythm hook overcomes the shallow loop.
