Lore wise, is very rich for a roguelike in my book, the gameplay is a little slow at the start but picks speed before you notice, customization and challenges are great as well. 10/10

The very closest to Dead Cells as far as movement, with comparably the same responsive fast, smooth, hack, dash, and slam combos. Just with a lot of unique Magic/spells. A lot more UI to navigate and understanding at first. Showing the stats at the end of playthrough is a cool addition. - 9.2/10

Masterpiece. *chef's kiss*
Recommended Aug 31, 2026
Love the game, it's a great action roguelike that just keeps growing as you play it. My only minor complaint is that all the characters are basically just reskins with different weapons and abilities. I was really hoping we would be able to play as a character like Ikki or some other non-humanoid.
