“This is a pretty fun roguelite. Be the Big Bad Boss and defend your dungeon from the pesky Heroes. Build traps, recruit monsters, cast spells, upgrade everything to new levels of lethality. Good looking, plays solid,…”
“While I enjoyed the one run I was able to make in the game, after exiting and coming back, I am locked out of the game. My save was deleted, and attempts to start a new game on any save slot gives a black screen after…”
“7.5/10 - As a paid product, solid but not amazing. 9/10 - For a free game, this is great. This game scratches that dungeon defence/manager itch with enough variation to keep it kind of interesting, but lacks the "it"…”

“I feel like I played this game for longer. I think just the fast pace of the rounds makes it a lot faster than you think it is, and time fly by as if you were playing a longer game, but in a shorter time. The whole…”

“Got this game on promo for 0$ and didnt expect such fun. The gameplay loop is fun as hell and the corpo-like events are ridiculous.”
“This is a great game that I frequently find myself coming back to to play for hours at a time. It has a lot of variation and customization in how you can complete levels and I find the humor funny.”
“7/10, 1st 10hrs of game feels like 10/10, but then falls down, i got all dlcs, but wont recommend, getting them. Games story, art, music is incredible and well made. Biggest flaws are balance and the way is end game…”

“Overall, just poorly balanced, all around. It's sort of a rogue-like, but the only real progression you get is unlocking monsters and artifacts that you "might" (strong emphasis on that) get during a playthrough. You…”
“Good concept, meh execution. I tried the first two levels and lost interest. If you're thinking about playing this game then play Monster Train instead, despite the many gameplay differences this game ultimately feels…”

“A roguelite dungeon management game where you play as the “boss side,” setting traps and monsters to defeat waves of heroes. The core concept is enjoyable, with satisfying moments when building around a strong monster…”
“I'd say it is a solid game but not really inspiring in any way. It merges Monster Train vibes with management and sort of tower defense gameplay. It has a potential to be fun and entertaining but not for everyone. It…”

“I love gold [FREE GAME? GOOD] You're fun. You're not very long. Engineer doesn't seem very good and you keep doing odd promotions in your newsletters that seem poorly executed. But you are definitely fun. Playing you doesn't exactly take the biscuit, you're not a horse that's…”
— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“The game is just above average. I can't say it's super good, but I can't call it crap either. It's a chill turn-based strategy game, plays nicely, but in my opinion there's not enough variety in the content when it comes to the final bosses. They basically made a whole campaign…”
— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“This game is pretty mid overall. The biggest flaws r weak gameplay depth n way too much repetition. hardly any new content shows up after stage 5, u just swap characters and mindlessly grind again. It gets super tedious if you play for hours on end.”
