The verdict
A charming, stylish Pikmin-meets-Cult-of-the-Lamb roguelite with striking art and music. Skip it if you bought for the promised co-op, which was cut, or dislike finicky shape drawing.
Great for
Fans of Pikmin and Cult of the Lamb who want a stylish, gory-cute solo roguelite
Main risk
You buy it for the promised multiplayer, which was scrapped, leaving a short solo game
