April 2025
I hate this game but I love it. Its got everything that you want but its almost impossible to find a room and play. There is now a single player with bots option. Wish we had more spell options, world options. etc. Its a good game but its tiny for what it is... I love this game, But I usually get stuck searching for a lobby and just end up quitting and playing something else... Even with solo play implemented, this is still a huge issue. It should be a option off the bat for solo play.

This is a fun roguelike game. I've played solo and with friends and haven't had too many issues with it at all. To quickly sum up what my pros/cons are without typing out a huge paragraph: TL;DR Get it, it isn't bad. It just needs a lot of fixes and polishing in COOP play. Pros [*] Easy to understand [*] Casual playable [*] Not a bullet-hell game. [*] Endless Mode [*] Different difficulties [*] Plenty to unlock [*] Overall satisfying when you have a good build going Cons COOP CONS [*] COOP is VERY BUGGY. [*] No in-game chat or a pause in coop. [*] Co-op play, the host is ALWAYS favored. Meaning, there's A LOT of desync for other players. [*] In Co-op endless, enemy damage doesn't scale properly on harder difficulties. Scaling seems so random. Also, Objectives like Soul Sludge is HUGE for only 2 players. It doesn't scale properly. [*] Because of the scaling in Co-op, you're basically forced to go damage and cooldown reduction. OTHER CONS [*] Cannot reroll new spell choices. [*] The only good map is Meadows. The other maps hinder survival. [*] Can easily get stuck on the rocks. Needs better friction. [*] High dodge feels useless. [*] Characters you unlock have a base spell that you can obtain in-game at random. IMO, characters need unique spells to THEM only. It makes unlocking new characters quite redundant. What I'd like to see in the future [*] Rerolling of new spell choices and other potential missing rerolls. [*] Coop polishing. [*] Being able to ban specific cards from showing up ever again. There's so many spell upgrade cards that survivability tanks further into the game because of the lacking health or other related survival cards. [*] More enemy types and bosses. [*] More upgrades, spells, etc. [*] Unique character spells. I still recommend but it does need some work.

Pretty cool so far, one of the better games in the genre. Feels very smooth to play and I personally really like the graphics/aesthetic. Needs some more content, but the road map is looking promising.

10/10 gameplay 7/10 overall for what it wants to be Self damaging spells is annoying, co op damage is annoying, enemy variety limited, no clear explanation on what elements do what or how they combine. Having said that it shows promise and its very new so I dont expect everything to be done. If u like Vampire survivors, gunfire reborn or darkest dungeon you will enjoy this.
