Played this back in 2020 after Hades. Thought it was a good game but didn't think much of it. Came back in 2025 and realized what a gem this was. The parry mechanic is not easy at first but very satisfying and impactful. This is not a hades clone. The gameplay is much more deliberate and less spammy than Hades. The curse element adds a bit of fun RNGness that comes with the roguelike territory, some of them might not even qualify as curses as they actually might positively impact your build. One bad thing I might say about the game is the lack of NPC in the base. Though I don't really like slogging through NPC dialogues in games nowadays, It does feel a bit lonely at times. It's totally just personal preference though.

7/10 I think this is a good game. It looks beautiful visually. I really like the artstyle. The combat and enemy designs are pretty good. I like that when presented with upgrades/new weapons you can always choose what you want even if you don't have sufficient gold by incurring debuffs. I just hate how enemies and bosses are recycled. And some may say this is also the case with games like Hades, and while this is true, this game presents progression as new areas you unlock. The novelty and awe wears off after realising the game only has 3 areas and the subsequent areas you "unlock" just provide the same recycled bosses and enemies but with more health. The sponginess of the enemies can get a bit ridiculous. The problem isn't that the enemies are recycled, the problem is the presentation and player expectation. At the start, the game teaches the player that each new area has new enemies, but this rule is broken later in the game and instead you fight to reach the same end-game boss 3-4 times.

Got this game on sale in September 2022 and played for a long time. Got hooked from the start on the game and had a great time. I would argue that is one of my favourite games and I have this game of the back of my head at times. As of writing this review I just revisited this game after 2 years of letting it collect the dust in my library. It's a shame this game doesn't have any dialogue while progressing and and story-based cutscenes or something of that kind but regardless, this game is something I will definitely remember for a very long time after I will finally beat it. Whenever I see some posts about "recommended rougelike" I never see this game getting a mention whatsoever and it's a shame because this game is very well made and is one of the best games of it's genre out there in my opinion. I have almost 200 hours in the game with is rare considering no game actually hooks me for a long time nowadays. Great game with a great challange, systems and mechanisms and upgrades while progressing through the temples.

Is there anything to explore? not really Does it have a story? barely If fast paced hard combat is your thing, this game is right for you. There is enough variety in terms of enemies and bosses. You will fight only a handful of enemies per room but you need to preserve your health for the boss fights.

Sept. 2024

An often-times forgot about roguelite action game that, in my opinion, has a more mechanically gratifying combat system than its biggest contender: Hades.
