The verdict
A charming D&D-style turn-based roguelike that shines in 3-player co-op. Heavy RNG and harsh scaling frustrate many, so skip it if luck-driven losses annoy you.
Great for
Groups of 2-3 friends who like tabletop RPGs and can laugh off bad dice luck
Main risk
Brutal RNG and enemy scaling can wipe hours-long runs, making losses feel unfair
