Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this quirky autobattler for its endless dude combinations, though many say runs get repetitive and too easy after a while.

Many players enjoy the build crafting: picking five dudes, stacking relics and finding synergies that make a silly team snowball into victory. The humour, art and music are often praised, and the game suits short sessions as well as long binges. Complaints centre on length and balance. Runs can take well over an hour, many fights end with simply pressing next round, and some players say the strongest choice is always the risky option, so every run starts to feel alike. Some want faster speeds, a sandbox mode or more dudes and content. Several recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, mostly about repetition and the price for the content on offer, while long-time players still report dozens of hours of enjoyment. Steam's overall rating is very positive.

Praised

  • Endless team combinations

    Players enjoy testing different dude lineups, relics and synergies, and find that the combinations keep runs varied and fun.

    Many players
  • Silly humour and presentation

    The absurd premise, art style, enemies and music are praised as charming and funny, giving the game a lighthearted feel.

    Many players
  • Easy to pick up in short sessions

    Players describe it as relaxing, simple to start and suited to playing in short bursts or while watching something else.

    Many players

Criticised

  • Repetitive runs

    Players feel that after some time each run follows the same pattern, with the same strong dudes and items.

    Many players
  • Too easy and snowballing

    Harder options add power rather than risk, so players say you can win by always picking the hardest choice.

    Some players
  • Very long runs

    Runs of around 100 rounds can take well over an hour, and many fights end with simply moving on, which players find tedious.

    Some players
  • Price and limited content

    Reviewers find the full price high for the current amount of content and suggest waiting for a sale.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy roguelikes, auto-battlers and tinkering with builds, especially in short sessions or as background play.
Who should skip it
Players who want deep tactical control, varied progression or long-lasting replay value may find it repetitive and should wait for more content or a sale.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours tend to say that runs become repetitive and that the same few dudes dominate, while newer players praise the variety and humour.
