Whimsical roguelike with good baseline combat, heaps of interesting upgrades, and a good level of replayability.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
18 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
Great journal system that simultaneously tracks the main plot points while also gently hinting towards things you haven't discovered yet.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
10 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
Fun and charming roguelike with decent controls, unique powers, and adorable pixel art... but also plagued by RNG frustration, unbalanced combat, and a disappointing endgame.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
Mismatched Music – The soundtrack is calm and meditative, which is lovely... until you’re in a frantic fight.
