Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players enjoy the charming look, music and chaotic castle-driving roguelike action, but find the early access version shallow, grindy and unbalanced.

Many players enjoy the cute minimalist art, the music and the satisfying explosions of rolling a castle through small settlements and fighting bosses. Short rounds of about 15 to 20 minutes suit quick play sessions, and several reviewers say it runs well on Steam Deck. Criticism focuses on progression: many players find upgrades feel alike, that unlocks are slow to earn, and that some modules and artifacts do little or clash with each other. Later difficulty levels spike sharply, with overtime enemies and high damage pushing players toward one meta build. Some players report frequent crashes and a hard-to-read menu. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, with more complaints about grind, unbalanced late game and missing features, though many recent reviewers still recommend the game for short sessions.

Who it suits

Players who like short, chaotic roguelike rounds with a charming look and do not mind a shallow, early access build while waiting for more content.

Who should skip it

Players wanting deep builds, strong late-game challenge or a polished, finished game should wait for more updates or skip it for now.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 20 hours recommend the game as well but more often complain about unbalanced late-game difficulty, the meta build and missing endgame content.
