Ratings and reviews

I've had around 5 hours of gameplay in this. And I'm probably going to uninstall it soon so I was gonna write my experience. The concept and gameplay are original and I like the actions and object in the game. But I sooooo hate the balance of the game. I think the rogue like elements of the game aren't well balanced. It's just a random generated board and sometimes it's stupidly difficult for the first board. I think the movement based actions should be more probable. Music and art is awesome.

The game itself is fantastic. But 30 second commercial you have to watch every 1 minute of game play, not only breaks your concentration, it annoys others around you. That's because, no matter how low your sound volume is while playing the game, it will get really loud, once the advertise starts to play. Advertisements are set to play in high volume sound. You can only mute the sound of it after it already starts the ads. And when next ads pops up, you have to mute the sound again every time.

This game has the unique gameplay and visuals of an Arnold Rauers game, but is very annoying, not just because of the more luck based gameplay than his other work, but because you can't choose not to use an item on a tile. The game runs on stamina and you don't have much of it. So whenever the quickest route to the exit involves wasting one bit of stamina to unnecessarily shoot an enemy with a bow that wasn't a problem, as an example, it can be a pretty annoying if enough runs die this way.
