The verdict
A cheap, addictive potato-shooter roguelite with huge build variety and short runs. Skip it if you dislike heavy shop RNG or the punishing Nightmare difficulty.
Great for
Players who want quick addictive runs, build experimentation, and a brain-off game for Steam Deck or co-op
Main risk
Heavy shop RNG and the brutal Nightmare difficulty make runs feel unfair or repetitive
What changed in the last 30 days
101 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews mostly blame the Nightmare difficulty and the new developers' balance changes, plus some about repetitiveness. Reasonably confident but sample is small.
