How it feels

a methodical deck-building journey through a corrupted realm where careful planning and class-based choices determine survival.

What players say

Players praise the card art and some find it a tight deckbuilder, but many veterans criticize the huge card pool with little synergy, making runs feel repetitive and RNG-heavy. Cross-save only tracks meta-progression, not runs, which disappoints mobile users. Comparisons to Slay the Spire are common and often unfavorable.
