How it feels
A frantic side-scrolling action game where every run is a desperate fight for survival against relentless monsters and unpredictable mutations.

What players say
Players consistently compare it to a fantasy version of Risk of Rain 1, but say it is significantly harder because enemies constantly close distance and cannot be kited. The controls frustrate some, with no mouse rebinding and a movement glitch, while long-time players complain the developer does not respond to support emails.
