Jan. 2025

Absolutely amazing dungeon crawler for co-op. Unforgiving one-life styled (you do get extra lives but they are limited and depends on whether you'll actually get them) yet approachable dungeon that's really great when played from start to finish at one go (there are checkpoints that serve as saves too) with addictive gameplay loop with really high replayability and masterable mechanics. Most of the game achievements are doable, there are just two really grindy ones though. Hunters beware. As of co-op, over the years managed to play it with a few different people from different backgrounds and they all told me afterwards that they enjoyed the game, so if you need a quick party game, look no further, just plug some controllers and enjoy! As of the length... I believe you'll do under just fine to beat both campaigns once.

So much fun to play with friends as you can see how different classes in a party perform and they can help you pick up coins which is very tedious to do on your own.

9/10 Buen juego, un poco largo para mi gusto (debido a que me tomo mucho tiempo buscando cosas o secretos) Recomendado para los que les gusten los juegos de calabozos.

Oct. 2024

Great game. Simple, with no complicated mechanics. Good music. The atmosphere is great. It has a good amount of puzzles and secrets. Not too long which is great. It shows love in the making, this game deserves way more positive reviews.

July 2024

Awesome game. simplistic, yet challenging enough to keep me engaged. co op is fun and there is a ton of modded versions, including hexen and star wars.
