A simple turn based game that is surprisingly enjoyable. I use it more as a pass time in between work or other games when I'm waiting for friends to jump on. It saves as you play too, so no loss for jumping out and it's turn based, so you can step away whenever without a penalty.
fun game. theres a variety of moves and the multiple characters have different skills, which gives a lot of replayability.
Great little game, to the point where my biggest complaint is that there isn't more of it. I unlocked every character fairly early on, and had plenty left to do after getting the last item unlocks, but it was still fun to go through up to the highest difficulty. The aesthetic, music, and gameplay are all pretty nice, and if you're attentive there are few situations where you just couldn't prevent damage. If I had to cite another complaint, it would be that skills and tiles are fairly hit or miss, which to an extent is to be expected from a roguelike. For example, there is ONE skill that can replenish health in the entire game, and technically two that can be used to get more money. All of them are from the same shop. For the attacks (which take the form of Tiles), the quality varies massively. You actually can get the basic katana strike early enemies have. You can also get a spear that strikes everything in double the distance for the same damage. There's a high-cooldown arrow, or a gun with double the damage and mostly-advantageous knockback. Modifiers can make some weaker skills viable, but there's still a fairly clear tier list.
