Fun game for people looking for MMO-style raid boss fights but without having to deal with the grind to gear up. There are some things you should know about before getting into it:

1. There is no local-coop, it's online only. Plans for local-coop are unlikely due to the dev team being very small.
2. The online lobby is a ghost town due to low player count, you'll probably have to find players on the discord or get your friends to play with you.
3. There's a normal mode and a hard mode. Normal can be played with AI bots filling in, but hard must be played with all human players.

The combat mechanics are pretty simple so don't expect heavy depth to maximize DPS. The combat is based off standing still in order to regenerate mana/build up stacks of your passive skill that each character has. Your passive skill will improve your damage reduction/attack power/healing power depending on the character and all stacks are removed the instant you move. Mana is spent on using skills which can have light synergies (e.g. the wizard can apply an ignite debuff with one skill, then use another that deals more damage if the enemy is ignited).

Because of the passive skills, you are encouraged to mind your positioning during boss encounters, which is more typical of a holy trinity style (tank, healer, DPS) MMO fight. As such, the boss fights are classic MMO and involve things like big damage AOEs to avoid, DPS checks, boss phases, and light puzzle elements which are best discovered and solved for yourself!

Recommended you play this with friends because the AI is extremely dumb or brilliant depending on how you look at it. The AI is dumb in that it will constantly get itself killed by standing in fire and blow all its skills, putting them on cooldown right as you get to a DPS check (which are instant game overs if you fail). So, it's dumb but also brilliantly models that average PUG in MMO raids. Due to the prevalence of DPS checks, this means it's only really viable to play DPS solo to ensure you pass the checks, but the AI can still cause you to fail in other ways.

The normal mode is short and can be completed in 1-2 hours with the AI, probably much faster with human players. I can't comment on the hard mode due to it requiring all human players.

At the sale price of $7.50 I think it's worth trying since there's not many games in this category of MMO-style fights without the MMO-style grind.
