“Good Roguelite, progression between destiny levels feels smooth and each character provides unique gameplay with 4 weapons each, some achievements are a bit grindy (the one for unlocking all the colours mainly). Overall a 7/10”

“A well-crafted game with a clear amount of care behind it. Feels thoughtfully designed and consistently executed. A lot of deliberate work went into the details. Also made in Europe! Amazing.”
