“Pick this up with a friend and you'll have hell of a blast. It's also okay as a solo game but it definitely shines in multiplayer!”

The verdict
A brutal, deep 3D co-op roguelike dungeon crawler with huge replayability and funny deaths. Skip it if you want fair solo play or meta-progression.
Great for
Co-op groups who enjoy hard old-school roguelikes, learning by dying, and many class and race builds
Main risk
Cheap instant deaths (boulders, curses) with no meta-progression, rough solo play and DLC-locked content
What players love
Rewarding, hard learning curve
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews
