What real reviews say
★★★★★ Classic formula done right again Came from playing dungeon maker a few years back. Seeing the cute monster girls brings back a bit of nostalgia and scratches the itch I have for animated pixel art. Looking forward to seeing how this game continues to develop!
★★ Eh Eh it’s ok I guess no real depth even though there’s the illusion of depth because everything overly dense but there’s not a whole lot going on it’s just pick some guys watch them hit things rinse repeat no meaningful choices or synergy
★★★ Good game Enjoyable slay the spire like game
