Jan. 2025

cool little game with interesting and ludonarratively consistent ways of unlocking things and finding different endings. lost a lot of nights to this one.

Dec. 2024

10 years later, this still stands proudly with the Roguelite greats. Simple and well executed concept, surprisingly in-depth systems, cool subtle online features, addicting replayability, many different endings, lots of classes, unlockables, etc. Runs can be as short or as long as you want, depending on the difficulty and ending that you're going for or if you're doing one of the many character side-quests. In the end it also tells a decent little story. It's fantastic, get this along with its DLC, which elevates this solid game to a 10/10

Sept. 2024

The game takes such an interesting idea and runs with it. It's a unique experience and for a game that came out in 2014 it's one that is still very much worth playing. The price is down right crazy for the quality of the product being sold.

Aug. 2024

Aggravating, hard, bizarre, strange. Detractors may call this game any of those things, and honestly, they're right, but they fail to mention that it's also addictive, rewarding, and encourages deep strategy, as well as casual play. Sure, you might lose on your best run to finish a quest because you got snuck up on by a very angry, rock throwing goblin. Or you might reach unseen heights and events, and get further than you've ever thought possible. The game can be a pain. But man, is it a good pain. Highly recommend.

July 2024

Very fun game and addictive when you get the hang of it. It can be somewhat repetitive when you have been playing a while but I don't consider that a bad thing. When you want to chill out and drop some hours in to a fun game, discover some new worlds and armor, etc, this is a great fun game.
