This is a very charming game with beautiful pixel graphics. And from my experience works really well with a game controller. Although retro looking there are a lot of modern quality of life additions to this game like auto save and question mark icons that appear to help the player stop to look around when there might be loot or a point of interest near by such as collectables, weapons, armor, keys, or maps that often give you hints for secret doors In this game you play as one character as opposed to some dungeon crawlers that have you playing as a party of characters. Levels are mainly gained through killing the various monsters that spawn around the map or exploring specific rooms. There is a very loose story but for the most part this game focuses a lot more on exploration than anything else. When you level up you have the option of putting a point into one of 5 attributes: health, strength, balance, aptitude, and focus.

While monsters jump from the screen and fit in the color madness, I cannot look at this game for too long without getting a headache. Fortunately, the game is not too long. In fact, you can finish the game in 2-3 hours, with an additional hour for finding several unique boss monsters. (Tip for completing the bestiary/collecting all items: While fishing, you need to wear specific clothing as shown on a wall painting. You may also want to go back to the starting cell.) The sound is passable. Not bad, but also here the short gametime safes the music from becoming repetitive. The combat sounds terrific on paper. It is a mix between attacking, defending and timing your attacks. You win by improvising these depending on the telegraphed actions of enemies. If they raise a parry, better deplete you attacks fast and put up your own defenses. Stop a heavy attack with a cheeky fast stun attack or play it safe and put up a medium block. Save charges after a stun fo…

A fun and short dungeon crawler. I finished with all map titles explored in 2 hours, but at such a cheap price I think it was worth it!

A neat little dungeon crawler with a nice combat system and nice secrets to find. Definitely a hidden gem.
