“Given the 21 hours I have in this wonderful game, I feel like I owe it a glowing review. I'll try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible. I'll preface this by saying that although I generally enjoy roguelite games, I am…”
“I really enjoy this game! It's super chill. It's definitely one of those "easy to learn, difficult to master" games. I highly recommend it.”

“Death has 2 dice and lethal poison stacks. He needs another 100+ score to kill you. He rolls a 6 and a 3. He gets 2 free dice to roll every round. He rolls another 6 and another 3. Perfect Bank. gets all his dice back.…”

“Pretty good original entry in the gambling-deckbuilder genre. I found it a bit on the easy side (to beat the four stages of each character), and then don't really feel inspired to play the "eternal" mode, and the…”
“It's pretty ok - I had fun trying out the characters, but... as I'm not aspiring to try playing harder and harder difficulties, there's not that much to see. And the focus on "eternity mode" is something that's not…”
“Game is fun but Death cheats too much. The game needs more balance to make it more interesting. Death gets all the good relics and steals your dice. The good relics you need rarely show up. I bought it at 6 bucks so not…”

“Great game, I'm enjoying it a lot. Couple of points for feedback for the devs (I mean this constructively): - The game absolutely needs a "banish" mechanic for bad relics. Every time I unlock a new relic that's not super good all I can think of is "damn, now my chances of…”
— a player, Steam review · 15 hrs played“Very pleased. I have a personal genre of games I call "after hours." These are games I enjoy after work when I'm a bit too taxed out for things that are extremely complex or that take hours to do, but still want a challenge to help my mind switch from work-mode to recreation.…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“This game shows a lot of promise, but for me it feels small. I cleared stage 1 in one go, and I think I understand what I’m doing even though the game doesn’t always clearly explain what that actually is. That lack of clarity stands out early. The core idea is strong. It’s a…”
