The verdict
A stylish, punishing, grind-heavy Suda51 tower-climber with a great soundtrack. The offline version dropped microtransactions but costs $20 and is still clunky; skip it if you hate grinding.
Great for
Grind-loving fans of Suda51 style, great music and gear-collecting tower runs
Main risk
Heavy grind and clunky combat and controls, plus a paid $20 key for a former free game
