What players say

Players call this one of the best dungeon RPGs in years, heavily inspired by the first two Shin Megami Tensei games. It offers a huge roster of over 170 characters, well-designed dungeons, and satisfying team-building. A few find the visuals and music off-putting, but most agree it is a steal for the price.
