How it feels

A methodical and tense roguelike deck-builder where careful decision-making and game knowledge are rewarded in a mysterious desert world.

What players say

Players praise the unique Arabic mythology setting and summoning minions, but are split on difficulty and direction. Many find it harder than Slay the Spire with a harsh start, while others enjoy the challenge and variety of builds. Some note the art and music are strong, but animations are slow and early access progress has been slow with a sequel announced.
