What players say

92% of 1,038 reviews are positive · 92% of 13 in the last 30 days

Players praise the pixel art, puzzles, and distinct abilities of the heroes. Their most common complaint is the long trip back through the tower after death, which returns them to the entrance rather than their last save point.
