    This can be as funny as it can be frustrating. One moment you smile at the successful pun towards The Matrix, Lord of the Rings or Super Mario and the next moment you’re dead. But after cursing the developer, the random generator, god, the world and yourself you’ll find yourself crawling back. Again and again.

    This charming and fun pixel art RPG proves to be too repetitive. It's bearable only as a short break from other activities.

Endless hours of Roguelike-ish fun. A ton of different classes, 3 heroes per party and a ton of dungeons and enemies to slay. It's all about min maxing. If you're into that, you should try it. Expand

    Charming and funny roguelike-lite. Nintedo-ish oldschool RPG presentation. I really wanted to like this game, but because it isCharming and funny roguelike-lite. Nintedo-ish oldschool RPG presentation. I really wanted to like this game, but because it is rock/paper/scissors with elements it bogs down far too easily on the boredom/tedium of constantly failing while you figure out what enemy = what element, then changing your gear on the next playthrough of that area so you can win. No skills matter, no stats matter, no strategy matters, and character choice -barely- matters, it's all about the simplistic water-beats-fire elemental system.

    Rinse and repeat if you really want to, but like dishwashing the game is more work than fun. Sadly.
