The verdict
A chaotic, funny co-op roguelike where afflictions and friendly fire shine with friends. Content is thin and repetitive, so skip it if you want depth.
Great for
Friend groups who want chaotic couch or online co-op with friendly fire and silly debuffs
Main risk
Few acts, repeated bosses and little variety make it feel short and repetitive for the price
