“Fun DND style game, RNG WILL destroy a playthrough so be prepared”
“Buy this game, do not buy the second game as it sucks. This one is an awesome turn based game.”

“As the eldest of three, this game has been one of the most fun gaming experiences I've had with my siblings”
“Really fun game to play with friends. My main complaint is how incredibly unbalanced the game is especially in the later sections. The game goes from skilful planning to mostly luck which feels incredibly punishing. I…”

“I have played this game for so many years, both single-player and with friends, local and online multiplayer. It’s a great gateway game for friends to grasp ttrpg mechanics, it’s a cut tribute for friends who already…”
“This game is very fun and also very hard. My friend and I lost the game at least 4 times in a row after making what we thought were good decisions, and even after turning the difficulty way down. I still think it’s a…”
“In my non-professional opinion, this game is a masterpiece and has the highest replay ability more then any other game in my collection.”

“Fun with friends, basically like a D&D one-shot that lets you unlock more stuff the next time you play. Super cool concept and fun execution. There's a bit of a challenge element to mitigate bad RNG as well.”
“I have 1 HP, 2 of my teammate are dead during the final boss battle. the boss have 258 health left. All I have is a Twin Daggers, 1 health, a dead lotus and 45 evasion. Reposte, Puncture, Reposte, Puncture. One simply…”

“A turn-based roguelike RPG designed around a board-game style map, where players move, fight, and make decisions across a shared adventure. The game is especially strong in co-op. Playing with friends made every…”

“Get your 72-leaf clover and necklace of rabbit feet, this game is RNG all the way through, with very little player agency. Even if you hyper-analyze every situation to calculate the odds to be maximally in your favor,…”
“This is a terrible, awful, horrible game, and no one, anywhere, should play it. This game will give you a helmet with +10 of your main stat on it, and you will be SO happy.....and then mere minutes later, you will be…”
“Nothing else really like it, I guess? Chaos feels like a bit of a boring mechanic to make players speed up and I wish they had a hurry up mechanic that was better, but that's my only complaint”

“This is a fantastic game to play with 2 friends, or solo. Worth every penny to get through the main quests. Maybe grind a few of the unlocks for fun. The story, combat, classes, all amazing. My only complaint is I can't get two friends to play this with me at the same time…”

— a player, Steam review · 51 hrs played“I had a generally great time with the game. The board game vibe is fun, and works really well in co-op. It's super easy to get a hang of how to progress, and the unlockable content adds new and fun tings to do, at least for the first long while. You'll have to play the game a…”
