Ratings and reviews

I can't really say anything the other reviews haven't. It's hard but honestly so are most other roguelikes and at least it doesn't require reflexes. I love how it mixes fantasy and sci-fi, and how the graphics glow with psychedelic colors at times. Yes you'll die, but it'll be PRETTY while you're doing it lol. I've been playing off and on for months and finally decided to pay for ad removal even though you don't really HAVE to to enjoy it. I like to reward devs who aren't money grabby.

This game is amazing and I have no bad things to say about it other than it's method of saving progress. If it is still like the last time I played there is no way to transfer your save data across devices so despite having tens of hours in the game, once I got a new phone it was all gone. Very fun and unique game otherwise.

Hard, Engaging, and Rewarding - this game makes you work for improvements and makes you feel like each run is a scrape against the giant uphill battle that is this dungeon system. I haven't made it past floor 3, if I remember correctly. I love the level of challenge, I love the turn based system where everyone waits for you to move, and I love the clean pixel art with post processing style. A beautiful, well made game that I'm genuinely surprised is confined to the phone.
