How it feels

A frantic hack-and-slash adventure where each run remixes items and enemy layouts, forcing quick adaptation and rewarding risk.

What players say

Players compare it to The Binding of Isaac but with melee combat. It offers fast, short runs through randomly generated dungeons with hidden secrets and new characters to unlock. However, players note it has been stuck in early access with old bugs, such as items spawning under trees, and the combat can feel shallow and unchallenging.
