How it feels
You carefully move heroes across hex grids, leveling up and choosing talents while bracing for permadeath in a low-stakes fantasy dungeon crawl.

What players say
Players say the game is very short, around 3 hours, with battles that quickly become repetitive and class choices that heavily dictate success rather than tactics. There is no way to heal outside of combat and the game has almost no story, though some enjoy the simple hex-based combat and roguelite statue progression.
