The verdict
A cheap, stylish bullet-hell survivor-like with fun build synergies and short runs, but repetitive, and the PC version looks abandoned. Skip it if you want ongoing updates or deep variety.
Great for
Players who want a cheap, short-session survivor-like with build experimentation and a dark pixel-art look
Main risk
PC version seen as abandoned, and content gets repetitive after roughly 10 hours
What changed in the last 30 days
23 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews almost all say the dev stopped updating the PC version while the mobile version keeps getting content. Even many positive recent reviews mention it, so this is the likely driver.

Repetitive runs and shallow build variety
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews
“The game is too shallow and every 20min run feels the same in way of progression. You either take Summon things or Bullet things, that's it.”
