Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this cheap early-access necromancer horde survivor for its satisfying army-building, while criticising thin content, balance problems and unstable updates.

Many players enjoy the core loop of raising and resurrecting a large undead horde until it fills the screen, with the necromancer fantasy and the cheerful dominatrix-style characters standing out. Several praise the upgrade paths, the tiered difficulties and the quick, pick-up-and-play runs at a low price. Complaints centre on thin content in early access, with only two biomes and few minion types, and on balance: late-game bosses drag on, some builds become useless, and the horde is hard to control or read on screen. Some players also dislike the voice lines and the slow late-game grind for cosmetics. Recent reviews are more divided than Steam's totals: some players report that recent updates reset progress or made the game worse, while others say the latest overhaul improved progression. The developers' responsiveness to feedback is often praised.

Praised

  • Satisfying horde building

    Players enjoy growing a huge undead army by killing enemies and resurrecting them, until the minions fill the screen.

    Many players
  • Necromancer theme and characters

    The dark necromancer fantasy, the art style and the flirty, cheeky lead character draw players in and give the game a distinct identity.

    Many players
  • Quick, addictive runs

    Runs of around 20 to 30 minutes suit short play sessions, and players return often for another attempt.

    Many players
  • Good value for the price

    Players consider the low price a fair deal for the content on offer, though they expect more once the game is finished.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Thin content in early access

    Players note few levels, only two biomes and a small set of minion types, and say the content runs out fast.

    Many players
  • Balance and difficulty spikes

    Players find difficulty jumps sharply between levels, late-game bosses drag on, and some builds stop scaling.

    Many players
  • Poor horde control

    Minions often stay behind, idle or run to distant targets, and the crowd makes the battlefield hard to read.

    Some players
  • Problems with recent updates

    Recent reviewers report that updates reset progress, removed earned power or introduced save and stability bugs.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy horde and survivor-style roguelites with a dark necromancer theme and short, repeatable runs at a low price.
Who should skip it
Players who want deep build variety, a large amount of content or stable progression should wait for the full release.

Short vs. long playtime: Newer players mostly praise the short, fast runs and the satisfying army growth, while players with dozens of hours more often find the late game repetitive and the progression grind slow.
