The Story is about Kana who dares to enter the Tower of F8 to find a cure to save her sisters, The story is pretty short but it offers a lot of unique gameplay.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
16 of 73 sampled reviews raised it
It's got a cute pixely art style, great music, a charming story, and it's better than I ever imagined a dungeon-crawling typing RPG could be.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 73 sampled reviews raised it
Has a simplistic, but unique combat system that differentiates itself a bit from other typing games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 73 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are pretty cool, It really feels like a classic dungeon crawler and the font is very nice and crisp, There are a bunch of effects like when you misspell a word, run out of spaces or get hit by a monster.
