This game is amazing, it really is worth the money, I would even pay more to play it. This game is super fun with friends and it will not get boring, you can always do something in the game. The developer is really nice too, and the art style, the music, the bosses, all of these are really well done. The bosses are really fun and they're challenging enough.2 found this helpful
This game is absolutely unique, in every way - it's a perfect mix of combat, skill, strategic thinking. I love the character designs and the focus on upgrading abilities. After playing through the first few acts, it gets tough, and requires you to really think about your specs. A huge amount of potential for this game, and really excited to see what comes next.2 found this helpful

Challenging boss-battler. I played solo, which is super hard; it's built for co-op and would really shine there. Geometric art style with surprisingly splashy special effects. Lots of weapons & levels. For more niche curation, follow me at: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/27440015-CSH-Picone/ Want more honest niche & indie reviews?
