Bom demais e dá pra encontrar com promoções muito boas em sites de keys. Recomendo 100% pra quem curte RPG por turno.

This game is absolutely adorable. I love that each character has their own unique style when it comes to combat and backpack builds, which makes experimenting with different setups a lot of fun. I will say that it’s been a while since the last update, and there are still a few bugs here and there. That said, I’m mostly writing this review so people who aren’t in the Discord know that a large update is coming soon!

Pretty good, I guess
Recommended Sep 14, 2026
One of my all time favorite games! I keep coming back and playing runs long after I've completed many of the hardest challenges, this game perfects the idea of multiple build options in a roguelike and player creativity can shine more than many other games I've played. 10/10 ez
