How it feels

A frantic top-down action roguelike where you fight through hordes of demonic enemies in pixelated hell, collecting items and facing unique bosses in short 15-30 minute runs.

What players say

Players call it a shameless but competent Brotato clone with a party system instead of weapons. Runs are fast and the game is good for switching off, but reviews split on balance, some say builds lack depth while others enjoy the variety. A few players complain about tracking your character in the chaos and unfair homing bats.
