Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this short, RNG-heavy item-combo roguelike for its build variety and quick runs, though many say it still feels unfinished in early access.

Many players enjoy the item-combination puzzle: collecting pairs of items, combining them into strong builds, and trying new synergies each run. Runs last around fifteen minutes, which makes it easy to pick up and put down, and several reviewers praise the retro look, soundtrack and Kingmaker mode, where they face other players' builds. Complaints centre on randomness, with some runs lost early through bad luck, and on a short content list, with only two single-player areas and a PvP mode in early access. Some players also find the auto-battle combat unengaging, the inventory limits restrictive and the menus and screen shake irritating. Recent reviews are more mixed than the older helpful ones, with several players saying the content feels thin and the price high, while long-time players report hundreds of hours and keep returning for new items and balance updates.

Praised

    Many players
  • Kingmaker and PvP mode

    Some players

Criticised

  • Heavy randomness

    Players say luck decides too much, with runs lost to bad item draws even when the player plays well.

    Many players
  • Thin content in early access

    Players feel there are too few maps, bosses and modes so far, and the content feels shallow for the price.

    Some players
  • Repetitive, passive combat

    Because combat is automatic, some players feel like spectators and find the basic battles uninteresting.

    Some players
  • Interface and quality-of-life issues

    Players ask for undo options, paper-doll avatars, removable screen shake and better chest handling.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who like puzzle-style item building and short roguelike runs for quick sessions.
Who should skip it
Players who want deep story, steady progression or a long single-player campaign, or who dislike heavy randomness.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours praise the balance updates and endless build variety, while newer players more often complain about randomness and thin content.
