This game is soon to become my most-played Steam Deck game. It's incredible. They balance difficulty with a deeply satisfying progression system. If you like diablo, hades and dark souls then you will love this game. Its 100% worth getting in EA to support the developer. They have created an extremely fun game, and the road map looks great!

Nov. 2024

If Diablo and Dark Souls had a baby sprinkled with some roguelite elements on top, it would be this game. With an engaging gameplay loop and a promising EA, the game has a lot of potential. I can't wait to see what the developers are cooking up next.

Nov. 2024

a good game. Has some dark souls 1 atmospheric vibe where you dance around different parts of medieval fortified settlement. The game is isometric hack and slash where you do a run, unlock stuff, die, respawn and push a littlebit further on your next run. Its a roguelite where your progress is tracked with "prophesies". Prophesies are like steam achievements.. do a thing, kill a thing or do a thing X number of times to unlock a new thing, be it a new weapon, a character, a spell, a shortcut, a skill slot etc. During a run you defeat enemies to gain levels. Levels you use to activate skills (shoot fireball when you hit, cast a tornado every X meters you run.. and so forth). You also obtain gold to use on vendors and loot which you can equip or recycle if its worse than what you wear currently. You become stronger but since you are defeating enemies the game keeps count of enemies you slay and eventually game becomes more difficult. Each run gets harder every ~40+ enemies you dispatch and once you do, you gain a special resource which you can use on a ritual on one of certain few spots on the map to give yourself a considerable boost in something, be it damage, range, resistances.. etc. With aforementioned buffs comes detriments, one which is permanent until you use a resource received only from bosses to cleanse yourself, and another one which goes away after X amount of enemies slain or if you pay a price of health or gold. You push forward, try to unlock as much as you can before you inevitably perish.. and start a new run. Sometimes you can find weird star shards which allow you to permanently improve yourself in a leveling skill tree kind of system except they are not levels and you are free to allocate and re-allocate those points however you want. All of this works well together and create very entertaining game. Its a mix of exploration, gauntlet run and roguelite elements.

Nov. 2024

This game is really a hidden gem. I love how the devs implemented all the best aspects or a rouge and ARPG. This game is totally worth the money. each run seems to get deeper in discoveries and surprises. The best thing about this game is the way they implemented loot. you actually get gear in this game and can focus a build... but you dont have an inventory its a part of that rouge like choice aspect. I Love this .. no storage no meta items i always use, no salvaging. its just new loot each run, but you are always getting loot including high power legendary you earn through prophecy. Its genius to me. one of my new favs.

Oct. 2024

What can I say... an absolutely amazing game where no two runs are ever the same. This game made me fall in love with the genre. The prophecies add a whole new layer of depth and purpose to the gameplay. While you can always aim for a win, the prophecies give you an additional goal, letting you accomplish something that could help you in future runs. Kudos to the developers and their community for listening to feedback since the early demo-beta days. Wishing all the best to the team!
