The verdict
A funny, deep, very replayable traditional roguelike built on a free-form seven-skill system. Skip it if you hate tiny UIs, tedious inventory management, or risk crashes and corrupted saves.
Great for
Roguelike fans and newcomers who enjoy build experimentation, silly humor and optional-permadeath dungeon crawling
Main risk
Crashes that corrupt saves, a tiny clunky UI, and repetitive, tedious long runs
What players love
