How it feels

A strategic, turn-based dungeon crawl where every move matters and death is just a chance to start a new, more tactical run.

What players say

Players love this as a gateway roguelike, praising its chunky gameplay and banger soundtrack. Many have hundreds of hours across mobile and PC, though they note the Steam version handles unlocks differently than the iOS version.
