Ratings and reviews

Fantastic game! Just made it to Act 2. The mechanics are really confusing, especially ranged and magic but it's worth learning. Graphics are pretty enough, gameplay is smooth. Ppl whinging obviously didn't bother spending a few mins experimenting. Roguelikes are MEANT to be difficult! Some feedback: Simplify. Every part of this is incredibly confusing: Add a basic tutorial; minimise skill descriptions (I still need to read them 3 times to understand); add side by side gear comparison.

An interesting idea for a game, but one that ultimately fails to live up to it's potential. Level design is awkward. You cannot see through a door, and by opening it, there's a good chance that enemies will wake up and get a cheap shot on you. The alternative is to slingshot yourself in, which can result in you running past enemies and into another room, or ending right next to an explosive box. Also, if a level generates with a trap pointed directly at spawn, that's just bad level design.

I very rarely review games let alone write anything about them, but this game deserves some praise. Excellent concept, excellent gameplay, excellent foundation to what could be one of the best games in this genre. My only critisism is the three classes to choose from right now with a relatively limited number of skills, but this game is also pretty new so that will change for sure. Thanks for making this game devs! Oh it's also not pay to win or progress(thank you)!
