How it feels

A fast-paced retro arcade-inspired RPG where a party of disposable heroes ride a giant shield upward, fighting and gathering treasure in a persistent roguelite climb.

What players say

Players praise the core shield-rotation gimmick and short, arcade-like runs, but the game is marred by frequent crashes that go unfixed. Many agree the early game is unfun because party members are locked behind progress, and content runs thin within a few hours.
