Jan. 2025

really struggled with the game first time trying; it was just me and my bf aand it was very hard to manage support/damage balance as a group of only two- we either went full damage and suffered on healing/buffing and died as a result; or either one of us would take up full support role and we'd still die due to insufficient party damage. it seems the sweet spot is to have a three people group; we had a friend join up recently and we're currently on our third map. been really fun. idk how it goes on hard mode but we're slowly getting there. game has its ass moments sometimes; you get f load of gold at the final objective- the campaign ends :D can't spend it or have it accumulate in some sort of other type of currency too...wow you're trolling your players!! how unique of you XD

I honestly cannot believe it took my husband and me this long to hear about this game. Do you like RPG games? Rougelike games? Tabletop RPG games? Cooperative fantasy games to play with your friends? If any one of those is true, this game is absolutely for you. Original, imaginative, easy to learn, addictive, and insanely fun to play. There is a ton of replay value even in the same campaign, and on top of that there are tons of unique campaigns. In addition, as you play you slowly unlock more and more cool things that can randomly generate on your map across multiple playthroughs, resulting in a familiar feeling game consistently having fresh things to discover. 100/10 an absolute must play for any fantasy, RPG, or rogelike fan, especially those looking for something to play with a friend or significant other.

First and foremost: This is an incredible little rougelike strategy RPG game. Saying that, I have to admit that is is very niche game too. For one, its balls hard with a very high barrier for entry. Your runs will become unmanagable very quickly without meticulous planning, which will lead to you dying and having to start all over again. Secondly it is sometimes very based on luck. This to me though, isnt a flaw but an integral part of the game. In essence, the entire game is based on you strategically deciding when to use your recources to tip the odds in your favor or when to let the dice roll freely. If that doesnt sound appealing to you, then I totally get that, but if you are willing to give the game a real shot, im sure youll find much enjoymnent in it. Ive been figureing out the game with a buddy and I havent had this much fun with a game in years. Ive seen a bunch of people criticising the game for being either too hard or luck based. These people clearly just werent into the core concept of the game. Theyre basically just asking for a different game, rather than criticising the game for what it is. All I can say is TRY IT OUT!!

Sept. 2024

Great strategy game. Fun. But, just make sure your happy with your characters order because it can't be changed once you started the game. Example: In your three man line up, Put your tank on the side so when he taunts any AOE attacks hit one extra person and not two. But if this is your thing get on sale.

April 2024

I have a love-hate relationship with this game. I had been keeping an eye on this game for quite some time, seeing it on sale numerous times, but I never took the plunge. Eventually, I found myself in search of a great co-op experience, and with this game repeatedly popping up in Steam sales, I decided to purchase it while it was discounted. After almost 20 hours of gameplay (approximately 10 hours in co-op and 10 hours in single-player — I couldn't wait to dive in, so I explored the single-player mode), I've come to see this game as a middle ground between Talisman and Heroes. It incorporates elements of D&D, offers a fantasy setting, and boasts a wealth of content and variety. However, there's a significant amount of RNG and grinding involved. Despite this, it's a very engaging game. I highly recommend playing solo, and it's incredibly fun with friends, though it can be frustrating if you lose and your progress is wiped.
