How it feels

A frantic and punishing arena shooter where each death pushes you to evolve your build before diving back into a dark fantasy slaughter.

What players say

Players draw comparisons to Ultrakill and Hades, but many say the movement feels floaty and lacks aerial momentum. Runs become repetitive quickly, and while early bosses are easy, the final boss is a steep difficulty spike. Reviews are split on whether the permadeath suits the game's content variety.
