“The game is quite decent, with basic graphics, an affordable price, and a cooperative mode for simple entertainment. The gameplay is easy to get into and gradually gets more challenging if you want to try hard or grind…”
“I actually really enjoyed what I've played of it so far, it's cute, has substantial character customization for something small scale and has imo great replayability. I don't want to spoil too much in my brief review…”

“A small yet fun and fairly well made game. Only issues are it's fairly short and has some smaller bugs and lag issues, well worth the low price though (despite other reviews I have seen, co-op does work, all of my time playing was co-op)”
— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“The game is fun, repetitive in a good way, very replayable, my only issue is the ranged enemies. They are by FAR the worst thing about this game, making it almost unplayable in the mid-early game. The fact they can lock onto you from 12x your melee range, many of the projectiles…”
