How it feels
a frantic, repetitive dungeon crawl where each run feels like a small step toward permanent upgrades, with waves of enemies and traps demanding quick reflexes.

What players say
Players praise the town and character progression system where upgrades persist across runs, but opinions split on the grind: some find it addictive while others call it mind-numbing. Co-op is widely recommended, though solo play is still viable. Combat is precise and rewarding, but one reviewer notes hitbox issues with the Rogue class.
