Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
This is a fun game akin to a Vampire Survivors type of Rogue-Like. In its simplest form, it’s a twin stick shooter that has a good soundtrack and some lore to boot. It certainly isn’t without its issues; some balancing is needed, using a controller is significantly harder and the steam deck version isn’t greatly optimized… YET. BUT the biggest green flags for me is the teams desire to get it right. The steam deck version wouldn’t boot at all - they took care of it. They’re adding things like optimization for the deck and aim assist for controller users… this game JUST came out and they’re already making fixes and being transparent about the feedback. It’s a fun game made by good people, give it a shot.7 found this helpful
I've really really enjoyed this game. It kind of reminds me of an in-depth version of the Prairie King game from Stardew Valley and gives me a nice sense of nostalgia. There are things that bother me, like how the companions feel a bit useless and sometimes the progress doesn't feel very rewarding but a lot of those things are already being addressed in the next update. The dev seems really open to feedback and eager to improve this already great game and that's really nice to see. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming improvements and I hope this game gets more love and attention. <33 found this helpful

I love this game! The art is awesome, the music is great, the playing mechanics are great. One of the aspects that I love the most is how smooth the movements feel, it's flawless in that category. The team behind this game seems very proud of their work and it shows in the improvements. Can't wait to play more and see what lies ahead!2 found this helpful
The VIBE of this game is immaculate. The pixel art is gorgeous and the gothic western theme is so cool. Soundtrack absolutely slaps, too.2 found this helpful
This is simply a bad game! It fails in almost every aspect what makes a good rogue like (I played the game for about 3 hours- 2 hours offline) 1. The progression system is a joke: there is only two updates (the most boring ones: xp-gain and health!) 2. There are 8 weapons that can be unlocked after a huge grind fest, and not for money but for bounty -money????-wtf 3. Its grindy as hell 4. The levels are boring and all look the same 5. Minor flaws: No map or minimap. + you cannot even read your health bar because it is too small 5. Most important: the gameplay: it simply consist of kiting mobs and going in circles for hours which is exactly as much fun as it sounds like I actually cannot understand the good reviews. Maybe those guys have never played good rogue likes like Binding of isaac or Nuclear throne?1 found this helpful
