What a peculiar game. Essentially it's an extremely stripped down party-based dungeon crawler. And by stripped down I mean there are no classes, no spells, no abilities, nothing of the sort - not even consumable items of any kind, really. There is some unique equipment, but it's rather limited and a lot of the time situational. All your characters get is HP (self-explanatory), PP (determines what and how much equipment you can put on) and equipment: 2 weapon slots (weapons are physical/magical, melee/ranged, single-/multi-target and with fixed/random damage), headgear (magical defense and optionally speed), armor (physical defense and optionally speed) and 1 accessory (speed, crit chance, counterattack chance, extra damage). One thing I actually like is that physical and magical defense act like separate health bars that take damage of the respective type without rollover, so the damage only goes through to HP when the defense is at 0. Unfortunately, in practice it usually only saves the character from 1 attack since a lot of the time the enemies will do damage many times over what defense the currently appropriate level of armor provides. Some enemies can attack your party …

If this were a food it would be a perfect hard boiled egg. Completely flawless and amazingly executed, but unfortunately I do not like eggs.

This game is like plain rice made by an incredibly skilled cook. It is undeniably of very high quality. I would prefer if it had some seasonings on it, but I can't say it isn't exactly what it set out to be.

Un gran juego para los que nos gusta pararnos a pensar la estrategia de batalla en un RPG por turnos. En los últimos niveles puedes saltar un montón de pisos y eso no me gustó tanto.

This is genuinely the worst game I've ever seen made by a AAA game studio, but I love it. There's no environment. There's no story. There's no characters. There's just you bashing your head against very rough game design. If getting frustrated makes you more determined, this game is for you. Otherwise, you're probably gonna uninstall it the second a party member gets petrified and you have to just kick them out of the party because you're still an hour from unlocking the mechanic to cure it, and I can't blame you for that.

got to 4 person party to lvl8, descended to tower lvl 6, thought ill go back up to 5 and heal, wtfpwned by 2 wizards2gargoyle and bear that are 3 levels below me, killed my whole party. uninstalled. like darkest dungeon... play this one if you don't like having fun playing an interesting game. The point is for you to feel crappy about losing characters and then its a unholy pita to get them back into your party. Not worth it even on sale. Not really an exploration game because the whole map is open to you, so there is no need to map anything out. some good ideas here but the balance is off. Too easy to have characters walled off by debilitating status effects.
