    After a handful of runs you may feel as if you’ve seen everything. The combat system still makes this worth a try if you’re itching for more roguelikes. [Issue#186, p.82]

    This is a challenging game. Despite enemies telegraphing attacks, their numbers can get the better of you. Combined with arena traps, hazards, and a lack of light sources, it can be rather difficult. However, with a parry, dodge roll, and your set of weapons, you're given plenty of opportunity to defend yourself. Combat really keeps you on your toes, and gives the game a quick pace that makes runs that much more addictive. If you want a dungeon crawler with satisfying gameplay and some unique ideas, this is far from a curse.

    Good game, gameplay is on par with Hades. Unfortunately all the rest (story, repetition, longevity) is not on that level. In the end, everyGood game, gameplay is on par with Hades. Unfortunately all the rest (story, repetition, longevity) is not on that level. In the end, every new stage is the same as the previous one with just buffed versions of the same enemies. And once in hard mode you can do it all again from scratch, I did expect a bit more creativity there. But I did enjoy my run with the game in general… Full Review »
