How it feels

A grim, tactical dungeon crawler where you make uneasy pacts with demons to survive an apocalypse, with a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the unique grimdark art style and atmospheric cutscenes, but criticize the clunky UI and grindy item drops. Combat feels solid at first but grows repetitive, and the inferno (NG+) mode forces a second playthrough for full completion.
