How it feels

A fast-paced hack and slash dungeon crawler where you fight through procedurally generated caves and lands as a family of heroes, balancing cooperative combat with a story-rich, atmospheric fantasy feel.

What players say

Players praise the heartwarming Bergson family story and beautiful pixel art, but opinions split on the combat: some find it fun, while others criticize stiff movement, weak starting attacks, and grindy meta progression. The game is best enjoyed in local co-op and features a memorable narrator, though it offers less variety and replayability than similar roguelites like Hades.
