What players say
Players praise the turn-based strategy and roguelite loot system, often comparing it to X-COM meets Diablo. Many highlight the punishing difficulty and the need for careful team building. Reactions to balance are split, with some finding early spikes frustrating. The music, co-op mode, and space horror atmosphere are consistently mentioned as strengths.
