Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Released in late 2024, the game brings a fresh and engaging take on the genre by blending various gameplay systems into a cohesive and strategic experience.
26 of 123 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
While there are some neat mechanics, many are locked behind specific characters, giving the illusion of choice early on.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack and sound design complement the experience well, and for a tactical roguelite there’s a decent amount of variation and randomness, even if that randomness often works against the game rather than in its favor.
