How it feels

A fast hack n' slash platformer with procedural levels and roguelike elements that offers a challenging, retro-inspired heroic quest.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and satisfying old-school combat, especially the decapitation mechanic that rewards risk. The pixel art and boss designs are consistently lauded, though some note the game is short. Several mention the blackjack gambling as either a fun addition or a luck-based frustration.
