What real reviews say
★★★ A concept as good as the best in the genre, with snags I can’t stop catching. Gameplay idea is simple but augmented with the progression and randomization of the roguelike genre. It works really well and feels very satisfying to successfully clear a board or pull off a narrow escape from a tight place. When it “works”. This game will flip-flop about behaviors that it allows.
★★★★★ I don’t have to play it and rate it It deserves every penny
★★★★★ Worth the purchase I bought this game not expecting much but excited because of the trailer-and boy am I glad! It is so addictive, and time killing. Whenever I’m on a road trip I bust out this game to ply until I get there. If you need something fun and time killing. This is THE game to play! Thank you devs for this g
