“the most "should only be worth 10 dollars" game i've ever played in the history of ever. Like its better than WoL 2 but thats an incredibly low bar. Gets boring incredibly quickly. Don't waste 20 dollars on this just go…”
“This game was not made for single player mode. Just a long grind fest progression. Forces you to do the daily over and over because it gives way more resources for clearing 3-6 rooms vs the regular mode which would take…”

“The story is weak as hell. Otherwise, lots of fun, lots of depth, lots of ways to create a broken build, lots of endgame challenge. Runs feel super unique because there's enough options to create synergies with just…”

“Great roguelite with a bunch of meta progression and various builds. It's great that it has co-op, but the on-screen clutter can get pretty ridiculous at times when you have more than 2 players”
