“I wouldn't say the game is bad, in fact, I loved the idea of switchable characters and mixing and matching their skills. That part was genius, and I gotta say I genuinely had a lot of fun with it. That said, I wouldn't…”
“Its wacky, interesting, but its not a game I would spend time or money on. I bought it at first to play with a friend then we found that the core game play loop is basically grinding to unlock more skills and level up…”
“Was having fun, then lost a lot of progress due to a bug caused by teleporting twice in a row.”

“Absolutely amazing couch co-op game with tons to do and see. The leveling system/class system is based on enjoyable "missions" instead of annoying grinding. This game also legitimately rewards co-op play instead of…”
“I played the whole game entirely co-op and it was really enjoyable. My only issues were that I would prefer a better quality on at least the main dungeon bossfights instead of a generic minion that is just larger. The…”
“We had such a fun time playing this game, even cried with laughter a few times. Whimsical, clever and addictive. Yep there are a few bits and bobs that could be designed better, like the shared menu aspect mentioned in…”

“Yes, okay, this game IS quite grindy in its mechanisms, but it's the fun sort of grind. There are many "classes" (forms) in the game, and you're not only encouraged but REQUIRED to mix, match and create your own builds…”
“Really enjoying this. Exploration is rewarded, fun light puzzles and different play styles. I like playing as a rat.”

“- Playtime: 24,5 hours (completed + done most quests, level 74) - Played 2026 - Context: Basegame only. I had no idea what this was, just wanted the cards. [b]The Good[/b] - Fun combat. - Lots of forms (they're…”
“I loved the artstyle in this one and found the concept way too tempting to resist. I'm glad I did too because this game manages to be such an enjoyable experience from start to finish! All of the forms feel unique and…”
“I first played this game back in 2024 on the Nintendo Switch, and now that I have moved over to Steam, I had to get my hands on it again. I still absolutely love this game. The whole concept of unlocking and shifting…”

“Really good game. It's fun, easy and you can experiment with multiple mixtures of passives and skills for every class. I really liked when I was unlocking them, but once I had them, getting an S rank wasn't as rewarding…”
“7.5/10 While the game itself has wonderful art and builds you can make. I found it to be kind of repetitive with its quests and unlocking new forms. Once you get a lot of em towards the later half of the game it really…”

“Did you say theymade a coach coop game on PC ??? Great idea, the story is fun, the graphics are also fun and the gameplay is simple but has some depth to it still with the mobs ressistances. I would say it is a great introduction to people who are not used to ARPGs but people…”
