How it feels

A fast, colorful character-action platformer set in ancient Swiss Gaul, with hand-drawn visuals and roguelite combat.

What players say

Players praise the stylish combat and hand-drawn art inspired by Vanillaware games like Muramasa, though some find the movement floaty and note a lack of tutorial. The three characters offer distinct playstyles, and seeded runs add replayability for speedrunning.
