How it feels
A tense, mouse-driven top-down adventure where each life is a fresh, punishing run through randomly generated areas, forcing careful combat or avoidance.

What players say
Players love the atmosphere and randomized dungeons but are split on the controls. The click-to-move scheme with attack bound to the same button is widely criticized as awkward and imprecise for a punishing permadeath game. Those who persist find it addictive and rewarding, though some late reviews mention development seems stalled.
