A nostalgic, loot-driven dungeon crawl with deliberate turn-based combat and a sense of unraveling a forgotten world's secrets.

What players say
Players appreciate the retro aesthetic and random loot, but the durability system and enemy scaling draw consistent criticism. Combat is described as shallow and repetitive, with a short story that lacks depth. Some praise the developer's active bug-fixing.
