★★★★ LaughingVeggies 2/14/2026 v3.3.6
Waste of time
You’ll spend a couple hours wading through floors until you come upon enemies that kill you in three hits. Can’t seem to run away quick enough. Every play through items change so you need to inspect them every time.
Strength is hard to find. I wish instead of just picking skills you could also increase basic stats. It’s a grind for nothing. After you die, you restart. It’s permadeath with no real reason to keep playing other than surviving longer-whoooa (sarcasm). Big whoop.
★★★★ MargooseV2 1/31/2026 v3.3.4
Poorly balanced
I’ve been playing for the better half of a decade. The developer’s happy to add things, but has yet to make the game fun.
★★★★ SirOfTheDerp 1/21/2026 v3.3.3
Feels like it never really improved…
Second boss encounter is straight up garbage. How are you going to make a boss encounter thats based around A ROOM OF TRAPS but also make the boss capable of dodging 9 hits in a row… games not worth even 1$. I had both upgraded armor and weapon, ton of potions and scrolls. Then the second encounter is a AOE COMBAT ROOM??? And dont even get me started on the level progression, clear entire floor but 1 dangerous area, try to funnel enemies for better enounter, high level enemy still spawns behind me and screws me over. EVERY TIME. No matter how good you are geared, no matter how much you have identified, no matter how experienced you are. You WILL be screwed over somehow. I would dismiss this if it hadnt happened 4 times without fail. This game has had years of tweaking and still seems like it has no real progress or true direction. Be better.
Also skeletons explode for damage? Who thought that was a good idea? Yeah totally make it so that theres infinite spawning enemies but also make it possible for those enemies to do repeat damage on death. Smooth. Seriously, be better.

Actually a horrendous buggy waste of time save yourself the money
The constant bugs and inconsistent gameplay make this a game more frustrating than worth. Requested a refunded will hopefully get
★★★★ Maldiraan 11/1/2025 v3.2.5
Game unplayable with latest updates
It's impossible to enjoy this game now. Some parts are stupidly predictable, such as gold coins always being in chests when there are more than one in a room, and other aspects are so randomized that it's a fun-sapping experience, such as trying to find an item that is actually useful. The monsters also seem more numerous and aggressive, adding to item scarcity problem. Luck comes into play far more than skill.
★★★★★ Too reliant on luck 2/1/2026 v3.3.4
Too hard because of luck.
The game is frustrating because 90% of runs gets lost because of dumb luck. A dumb trap or an enemy walks though a door at the worst time. It shouldn't rely THAT much on luck. That doesn't make the game "hard" it just makes it kinda dumb.
