Game really needs a preview option or button of some kind. All my deaths are bc i dont know how much dmg this enemy will deal to me. Also a auto-fast foward button would also be great.

Story mode isn't so bad on the easiest difficulty, thanks to free keys that keep the run alive (waiting a minute for each one sucks, though). Every zone has some mechanic to it that keeps the experience interesting - beating the zones are the few highlight moments you get here. Once you beat the game, it's also possible to grind the final boss for a decent amount of soul stones, which help a ton with any future runs. Everything else, however, feels very rough around the edges - the story is bland, the sound and music volumes are way too loud and it's very easy to glitch out the game. The mouse inputs don't work most of the time, small mistakes can quickly ruin your progress and grinding soul stones is very boring. Maze mode is RNG hell; find sword, shield, upgrades, a key and kill a boss. However, sometimes there's no sword, sometimes there's no key and in the final zone, the boss has a 50% chance of being literally unkillable. You can be 10 minutes into a run before realizing that the run was un-winnable from the start, which feels very stupid. If you're a completionist, you'll need to do some grinding here (a couple story mode runs, some speedrun attempts and 50 maze mod…

Picked this up for like $0.37, HIGHLY recommend it!

Probably wouldn't recommend this game, and if you're a completionist I would say this is a hard pass. Despite being a rogue-like, the expression for skill ultimately comes down to a lot of luck that the dungeon creates a path towards the equipment that minimizes damage. Real quick explanation of how the game works: Health is a pool (no max, so grabbing health potions is always good if its free), Enemies fight in turn based combat, literal stat check. You attack, they attack, first to lose all their health wins. Opening doors costs keys, which are randomly found along the ground. Red key is used to unlock the boss, which usually has some gimmick to make it harder. New equipment per area (10 floors), always spawn on separate floors, randomly chosen where. Special items drop as well randomly per area. Shop is ~halfway through the area, can be used to buy stats and health. Soul stones (meta progression) are dropped by bosses and can be used to buy special items without having to get them from the dungeon, restarting an area, or reviving. Problems with the game: Obviously, RNG. Sometimes the special item you *need* to win the area with is just straight up unattainable. It'll put an i…

i really like this, its simple yet fun and music is excellent

I wasn't expecting much but I'm actually enjoying it. What seems like simple gameplay on the surface gives you lots of options to play with. Which doors to unlock, which monsters to battle, risk vs reward. Great strategy-lite rougelike-lite. (I hate labels and categorization)
