This game is on par with Dead Cells for gameplay, customization, level design, etc. It's honestly more fun to me than DC, but that is just my opinion. Just like Dead Cells, the pixel art is awesome, but it is on a whole other level here because of the character sprite work. Amazing game and if you love roguelike games, this'll tickle that hardcore!!!!!
amazing game with great mechanics, character diversity, boss fights, and touching story. even though the gameplay may seem repetitive the different playstyles and characters make it unique and always fun only downside is that the controls on keyboard kind of suck and controller is much easier.
Played on handheld PC/PC Another banger for action rogue like games with an interesting gameplay concept give it a go you will not be disappointed
