Ratings and reviews

Excellent game (perhaps about 35 years late...) If this game had been released for the NES in the 80's, it probably would have been a big hit. You must plan your moves carefully. There is always a way to beat the level. If you die, it is because YOU made bad choices. Don't blame the game. Blame yourself. To the dev: If a sequel is ever in the cards... I would request same system with open world (towns/dungeons/quests) where player has to either find or buy spells. Thank you.

It felt like I was having to replay levels not because I was bad, but because I was waiting for a beatable random layout. Fireball was the only really useful spell. Ball lightning was the worst, since 95% of all shots you can make with it will hit you, often multiple times. Swipe controls were inconsistent, sometimes requiring multiple swipes to register. I do appreciate the lack of ads, but the game is just too frustrating for the wrong reasons.

The story mode is more of a roguelitish rpg, but don't let that bother you. This is a challenging and pleasantly unforgiving tactical game. Definitely worth a try for any fan of the roguelike genre. Only thing that sometimes feels a tad unbalanced is the random placement of enemies in the story mode. I understand why this game mechanic choice has been made, but sometimes it seems to make (near-)unbeatable level configurations. It's also great that the game is free & without ads.
