Great light rougelite, Many options, very fun to play
  • tight controls
  • balanced characters
  • great art style
Absolutely bangger of a game.
Nice chilled little roguelite. Has a lot of potential and delivers well. Hades meets Dead Cells.
just couldnt get into it, the combat felt weightless. theres jus better stuff imo

]

Cannot recommend this as the Single-player has no Offline mode and you have always got to be connected to their servers but when go down/offline or your internet drops you loose all progress and get kicked from the game. if your playing multiplayer yes you need a stable internet connection but single player is just dumb...
