The verdict
A deep, build-rich Castle Crashers-style roguelite beat 'em up that shines in couch co-op. Skip it if you need stable online multiplayer, since disconnects, desync and no rejoin plague it.
Great for
Couch co-op with family or friends, and build-crafting fans of Castle Crashers-style roguelites
Main risk
Online co-op disconnects, desyncs and China-default servers, with no working rejoin or mid-run save
What players love
Huge build and weapon variety
Mentioned in ~1 in 3 positive reviews
“each of the 10 weapons having 3 skill trees... THEN options within those 3 skill trees... THEN to top it off you have custom farmable runes that make your custom builds just go crazy”
