  • +you enjoy top-down action against crowds of monsters
  • +you like building up talents across repeated runs

Not for you if...

  • you prefer slower combat with fewer attacks on screen
  • you dislike changing abilities during a run

What players say

89% of 4,980 reviews are positive

Players praise the chance to experiment with skill combinations and character builds. A common complaint is that random skill choices make desired builds hard to assemble; players also say the game does not clearly explain its synergies.
