How it feels

A punishing grind through an endlessly shifting tower where you must rely on fast reflexes and luck to survive.

What players say

Players are split: some praise its punishing old-school design and replayability, but many more complain about bad controls, laggy performance, and a brutal difficulty spike after level 20. The game is often called simplistic and repetitive with one-room dungeons, and multiple reviews say Bastion is a better alternative.
