How it feels

A frantic, punishing top-down bullet hell dungeon crawler where you repeatedly die and retry with procedurally shifting floors and escalating chaos.

What players say

Players enjoy the variety from randomized skill upgrades and shrines that change how you play, but the game is marred by clunky controls, spawn traps, and a lack of music. There is a split on difficulty, some find the knight overpowered. Most agree the price is too high for the current early state, with the developer promising fixes for the full release.
