How it feels

A frantic, empowering climb through a hostile tower where each run feels like a desperate, experimental scramble for power.

What players say

Players praise the grafting system for swapping abilities mid-run, creating varied builds, and compare the short runs favorably to Risk of Rain for busy schedules. The challenge is generally appreciated, though some find enemy telegraphs unclear. A minority report a boss bug that locks interaction, and a dev review confirms ongoing fixes.
