Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players enjoy the loot-driven set building and quick runs, but many find it repetitive and too reliant on random drops after a few hours.

Many players enjoy the core loop of turn-based battles, collecting loot and stacking items from the same set for bonuses, and say it works well as a relaxed game to play alongside other things. Several praise the simple pixel-art presentation and the variety of set combinations. Complaints centre on repetition: with only three characters, enemies and items start to feel the same after a few runs, and reaching full achievements is seen as a grind. Some players say random drops decide too much, and others point to unbalanced builds where a few sets or traits dominate while many are weak on higher difficulties. Recent reviews are more critical of the endless mode and of balance than the older helpful ones, which focus more on early enjoyment.

Praised

  • Satisfying set building

    Players enjoy combining gear from the same set, since bonuses grow with each matching piece and open different playstyles.

    Many players
  • Easy, relaxing loop

    Simple one-click combat and runs that can be saved at any time make it an easy pick-up game for short sessions or background play.

    Many players
  • Charming pixel art

    Players single out the cute pixel graphics and retro look, which give the game a distinct and pleasant style.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Repetitive after a few runs

    Players say the same enemies, rooms and items return, and the game feels empty once the three characters are unlocked.

    Many players
  • Heavy reliance on RNG

    Reviewers feel random drops decide runs more than skill, so bad rolls can end a run with little agency.

    Many players
  • Unbalanced builds

    Some sets, traits and characters are far stronger than others, while some builds are weak or nearly unplayable on high difficulties.

    Many players
  • Achievement grind

    Players say that completing every achievement through long, repetitive hunts turns the game into a chore.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who want a simple, casual loot roguelite for short sessions, or who enjoy experimenting with item set builds and are happy to chase completion.
Who should skip it
Players who want deep strategy, varied content or fair, skill-based runs should skip it, especially at full price.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are split, often enjoying the first unlocks but finding the game dull soon after. Those with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend it for the build experimentation, while complaining about the grind and endless mode.
