The verdict
A 3D Hades-style roguelite with an addictive loot, backpack-tetris and shop loop and good combat early on. Skip it if you want a Moonlighter 1 clone or hate repetitive grind with only three biomes.
Great for
Roguelite fans who like Hades-style combat, backpack-tetris and shop pricing minigames
Main risk
Thin content (3 biomes, repeated bosses) and a grindy endgame; crashes lose the whole run
