The verdict
A cheap, streamlined sci-fi traditional roguelike with great pixel art, music and quick runs with many classes. Skip it if you want deep, hard or low-RNG gameplay.
Great for
Caiys fans and newcomers to traditional roguelikes who want short, stylish runs
Main risk
Gameplay may feel too simple, easy or RNG-driven, with limited depth
