It's OK. Some of the mini games are badly designed or just boring, but some are actually fun. My favorite one is the one where you have to go up the road while cars are falling down and you get one shot if hit. Game feels rushed and somewhat unpolished. However if you look past the intricacies it'd a decent game, can get you an hour of fun if you need a quick party game, by all means get it.

Certainly doesn't do the job better like it's predecessors Crash Bash, Mario Party, etc which are MUCH more fun.

I recommend it only on discount.

I hope the devs see this. Very nice game!

It's clear the inspiration for this game was Risk of Rain 2, as aforementioned by many others, and it shows. In the particle effects, character, environment, enemy design and even game mechanics, as well as UI. And that's OK, we need more risk of rain lol.

The similarities are almost uncanny, but has just enough differential to set it apart, as a fresh roguelike experience.
It definitely scratches the Risk of rain itch, but from a very refreshing top down perspective. I definitely see where they're going with the game style.

Half an hour of gameplay is enough to tell me this is a solid game. However it's clear to me there is not a lot of content, YET. But that's fine. Hopefully the devs keep building upon it and updating, just like Hopoo games did with ROR2, I believe that's where the true potential of the game can shine, in the long term updates.

Two negative things that I will point out:
- The currencies are confusing. Why have 3 currencies, and one of them can be used to buy items as well as reroll items? There's no reason to have 3 different currencies. Have it as just one simple currency.
- Absolutely the most annoying thing is not being able to walk over enemies, having enemies blocking you is really not necessary, does not add to the "skill" of the player, just makes being surrounded irritating. Make it so we can walk over enemies, or at least reduce the collision size so we can squeeze past them.

Good luck to the devs. :)

Soundtrack 10/10 - The music is probably the best thing

Artstyle 9/10 - A solid 9 in my opinion, really well made graphics, I like the pixelated aesthetic and low resolution textures, the contrast of pink and cyan colors are really well put together, so well done to that.

Gameplay 6/10 - This game needs a lot of tweaking, but I trust the developer will continue updating the game with fixes, the main issue in my opinion is abilities are very unbalanced, there is one obvious spell that instantly kills enemies, making the other spells much less of use. Why would I choose to aim when I can just one shot anyone that comes close enough? Nerfing the lightning spell would be a mistake, so I would suggest to buff the other spells and make them easier to aim, maybe homing towards the enemy and reduce the cooldown.

Difficulty 7/10 - Enemy projectiles are too fast and come out of nowhere, as soon as you get close enough to an enemy it shoots projectiles at you without any wind-up or warning, it's kind of a annoying. The camera makes it hard to spot an enemy if he is below the screen, making it more optimal to play having the enemy north, but forcing you against the wall so enemies don't spawn south. Some items are absolutely useless, I would say at least 60% of the items don't have any synergy or even a good use, like the root potion, why on Earth would any sane human being stay 1 second in the same place in this game, it just doesn't work and doesn't make any sense. The The power increasing and cooldown reducing items are probably the most relevant ones. The speed items are actually a debuff because if you are walking faster then it's HARDER to run away from enemy projectiles because your speed is inconsistent, making it easier to actually run into a projectile.

Conclusion
I would say to anyone wanting to buy this game, do so, because it's fun enough as it is, but I wouldn't get it at 100% price at the current state. HOPEFULLY the Dev actually reads reviews and fixes all the wrong things with the balancing issues. So far the game has not a single bug that I found, except on Survival mode sometimes there is no music playing even if my music volume is 100%, only the SFX can be heard. I would say gameplay is fun enough for an Early access game
Peace.

Beyond unforgiving gameplay. If you like a real challenge and suffering while you play a game, I can recommend this. However if you are the type that enjoys "Cozy games" then get away from it lol

Early Access Review
A game so rich I can't imagine myself finishing it lol

The Dev has gone above and beyond with this game, coming up with constant updates since the Beta, every year constantly adding something new to the game. Although it's not on my priority "to play" list I can say this game is well polished and deserves the attention.

If you're a fan of roguelikes, buy it!

Fantastic gem of a game.

Played the free version for fun with a friend, unfortunately he didn't seem to like the game as much as I did so I decided not to buy it yet, but I definitely recommend the game to anyone who wants to have a fun co-op experience.

I think there's a magical feeling in being a developer and being able to deliver a game that brings joys to players, and that is not just focused on draining people's wallets with micro-transactions, there must be something so satisfying in this.

Instead over delivering on every aspect and focusing strictly on the game just being super fun is a good foundation for a successful game and successful franchise.

Ahoy!

Very underrated little hidden gem of a game.

Feels very much like a 2D diablo, but gameplay is smooth.

The mechanics of being able to reset all your skills at will, without having to spend anything is realy refreshing. Brings more replayability for sure.

The loot system is AMAZING. I haven't seen anything like it before.

Only downside is I wish I had more time to play it XD

Thanks the Dev for this game

Highly strategic mecha roguelike, with different challenges and enough variation to keep replayability.

I enjoy figuring out what team setup to take with me and what items to equip them with, makes it a really fun experience. The game is challenging enough to keep you on your toes even on Normal difficulty.

I definitely recommend, it's a hidden gem.

The music is so fitting so the game, it's hard not to love it.

If you like turn-based combat with an strategic twist, this game hits all the buttons.

Buy it and you won't regret!

I could only wish the devs made a sequel, because this is GOOD
