How it feels

playing feels like assembling a scrappy team of dice to fumble through space with a blend of quiet sadness and offbeat humor.

What players say

Players praise the novel dice-and-board combat and diverse party combinations, but many find the game heavily reliant on luck, making strategy feel pointless. The poor English translation and unintuitive interface frustrate newcomers, and repeated runs feel samey with limited progression.
