How it feels

Fighting through swarms of enemies in classic dungeon labyrinths with retro pixel graphics and cooperative play.

What players say

Players praise the modernized controls and mouse aiming, but note the game is a simplistic arcade-like action game rather than a deep RPG. Co-op is strongly recommended, as solo can be overwhelming and maze-like level layouts frustrate some. The Sun Temple campaign has a notorious difficulty spike and unbalanced traps.
