How it feels

A tense roguelike action game where you protect your power source while evolving through strategic upgrades in a dark fantasy dungeon.

What players say

Players say the game is short, around 3 to 5 hours, with 10 floors. Many enjoy trapping slayers in holes and filling them in, but overall the controls feel sluggish and melee attacks are hardly worth using. There is little to no story. Upgrading the weapon past level 2 makes it worse, a detail several reviewers warn about.
