What players say
Overwhelmingly positive: players call it a fun, cheap, addictive roguelite with smooth combat and great music, held back by repetition and performance issues.
Most reviewers recommend the game and praise its combat, which many compare to Nier: Automata or Genshin Impact: quick dodges, parries and perfect dodges feel satisfying, and the four playable characters play distinctly. Many players also enjoy the Touhou music and the build variety that comes from upgrades and perks, and several call the price low for what it offers. The main complaints are repetition: stages feel samey, the same bosses come in the same order, and runs can feel too similar after a while. Some players also report stuttering and frame drops, mainly with the camera, and a few find the combat simple or the difficulty curve uneven. Reviews from the last year look much like the older helpful ones, and a few players wish for more characters, bosses and map variety.
