How it feels

A strategically demanding roguelike where each run through procedurally generated dungeons feels fresh, punctuated by retro pixel art that can be swapped for a modern look, lighthearted humor, and the constant threat of permadeath.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the dungeon crawling and events, others find combat unsatisfying and encounter game-freezing bugs that wipe progress. Development is active, but the early-access state leaves many waiting for more polish.
