The verdict

A pixel-art co-op action roguelite with satisfying meta-progression and town building, but repetitive, grindy and light on content. Skip it if you dislike grinding the same maps, or if you play solo and want variety.

Great for

Co-op groups who enjoy Gauntlet-style action, class variety and long meta-progression grinds

Main risk

Same maps, enemies and order every run, so the grind gets stale fast, and saves may be lost.

What changed in the last 30 days

Recent negatives cite cloud save failures wiping progress, multiplayer desync/DLC problems, and grind or repetition. Reasons look consistent but are from a small recent sample.

“Super fun with friends! I could see it getting old if you only played by yourself, but playing with the same group, I could see myself putting hundreds more hours into this”
