Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players praise the fast combat and deep build variety, but many find the endgame repetitive, grindy and poorly balanced.

Many players enjoy the fast, satisfying combat and the wide build variety from skills, relics and gear, with the timer adding tension to runs. The campaign is praised for its story, its historical setting and its strong visuals and sound. Many complaints target the endgame: once the campaign is done, progress feels repetitive and grindy, with little new content. Some players dislike the inventory and stash management and the lack of quality-of-life options, and some point to balance problems with boss encounters and sudden difficulty spikes. Several reviews from the last year say the game has improved since launch, with new currency and challenge content, while recent reviews more often call the content too short for its price.

Praised

  • Satisfying combat

    Players enjoy the responsive combat, with strong impact, visual effects and blood splatter.

    Many players
  • Build variety

    Skills, relics, gear and a skill tree allow many different builds that players enjoy experimenting with.

    Many players
  • Story and setting

    The historical setting based on the Canudos war and its Portuguese voice acting are praised as unique and engaging.

    Some players
  • Timer and pacing

    The run timer keeps runs tense and fast, and players can switch it off if they prefer.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Repetitive endgame

    Players say the endgame offers little new, with repeated maps, few bosses and grindy progression.

    Many players
  • Balance problems

    Players report sudden difficulty spikes, boss mechanics that favour ranged play and too many one-shot deaths.

    Many players
  • Inventory and stash management

    Players find managing relics and the stash clumsy and lacking in quality-of-life features compared with other ARPGs.

    Some players
  • Price for length

    Players say the campaign is short and the DLC and content updates are too thin for the price.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suited to fans of Diablo-style action RPGs and roguelikes who enjoy building and optimising characters and do not mind repetitive late-game grinding.
Who should skip it
Players who want a large endgame or varied content, or who dislike clumsy inventory management and sudden difficulty spikes, should probably skip it or wait for a discount.

Short vs. long playtime: Newer players tend to praise the combat and build variety, while players with dozens of hours more often complain about the repetitive endgame and grindy progression.
