How it feels

A pixel-art action RPG with responsive, challenging combat that feels like a speedy, dark fantasy dungeon crawl.

What players say

Players praise the Slavic theme and fluid combat, but many find runs repetitive and the meta progression too slow. The difficulty jumps sharply on bosses, and local co-op has game-breaking screen glitches. Development appears to have stalled after adding multiplayer.
