MFS READ THE BLOG POSTS IF YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE DOWNTIME BETWEEN UPDATES. No. The game is not abandoned. They are currently rebuilding many of the game's systems from the ground up, including how the game generates terrain. They have also stated that the next update will be their biggest one yet, and they're trying to make better sprites than before. Given how incredibly detailed the sprites already are, that is a MASSIVE statement. THE GAME ISNT ABANDONDED, AND EVEN IF IT WAS, WHAT'S HERE IS BETTER THAN WHAT 90% OF GAMES HAVE WHEN RELEASED3 found this helpful
[h3] Literally one of the best roguelikes I have ever played. [/h3] There may not be a huge number of skills to choose from during each run, but the game makes up for it with a good selection of characters, each with their own skill tree. There is also plenty of loot, including a lot of unique and interesting items that can completely change the way you play. The art style and overall game design are both excellent. The combat feels satisfying, the progression is addictive, and experimenting with different characters and builds keeps the game interesting. I really hope the developer has not abandoned the game, because that would be incredibly disappointing. Having only three stages to choose from feels a bit limited, and the game desperately needs some kind of endless mode.1 found this helpful
great game, would love to see it finished
A very fun game, has a lot of interesting combinations of characters & attacks percs, a lot of fun stat variety, playstyle variability, and has grown a lot over these past few years. DO NOT listen to these people bashing there being a delay. It is a team 3 people that are currently reconstructing the game The current projection for the next update is Q3 of 2026, which is in the next few months. So I highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance
Awesome roguelike!
Very fun
