Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However, with adjustable difficulties and a sizeable amount of expansive DLC, this is one roguelike RPG that really shines in co-op.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a great gateway game for friends to grasp ttrpg mechanics, it’s a cut tribute for friends who already love ttrpgs, and it’s a joy for roguelike lovers.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art direction is so delightful, especially the “leaking triangles” particle animations for wounded characters and the ragdoll physics and bone launching that correspond to the weapons that deal death blows.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game sends you across procedurally generated maps filled with quests, ambushes, dungeons, and world events, all tied together by a simple but effective narrative framework about defending the kingdom after the king’s assassination.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With its charming art style, strategic complexity, and high replay value, it’s a game that I not only enjoyed thoroughly but would strongly recommend to anyone who appreciates thoughtful, tactical gameplay.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Definitely meant for multiplayer, likely would not be much fun solo but is fantastic with a group.
