How it feels

A fast-paced, darkly comic 2D action roguelike where you hack and slash through hordes of demons in a netherworld deal with Yama.

What players say

Players praise the parry system that can reflect almost anything, but criticize slow meta-progression, long loading screens, and shallow roguelike elements. Opinion splits on difficulty and combat feel, with some calling it clunky and others decent for the price.
