How it feels

A dark fantasy bullet hell where you frantically survive endless demonic swarms, upgrade on the fly, and ride a dragon companion into chaotic battles.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute pixel art and the basic gameplay but feel the early access game is too shallow. They report only two areas, two characters, and about two hours of content, with rare updates and bugs like soft-locks. Many say the dragon is barely useful and the weapon variety is too low to keep runs interesting.
