How it feels

Curse Rounds feels like a frantic, high-stakes arcade shooter where each room stacks unpredictable penalties while you dodge bullets and blast enemies with flashy weapon shots.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, cute roguelike where you pick curses to weaken yourself instead of buffs. Many compare the art style to a cuter Binding of Isaac, though some find the black-and-white visuals make enemies hard to see. Reviews say it takes about half an hour to finish with no meta progression, and opinions are split on whether the RNG-driven curses feel fair or frustrating.
