How it feels

A tense, lore-rich action-RPG where you navigate a tightly packed, maze-like dungeon world, constantly unlocking new paths and upgrades.

What players say

Players praise the world exploration and pixel art but are split on difficulty: experienced souls-like fans find it manageable, while others cite relentless bosses with few openings and one-hit-kill endgame attacks. The first boss is often singled out as the hardest.
