What players say

95% of 31,879 reviews are positive · 85% of 130 in the last 30 days

Players praise the Diablo-like pre-rendered art, straightforward horde combat, and extensive unlocks and in-game challenges. The most common complaint is that runs feel too long and spend extended stretches on autopilot; recent players also report crashes in later, denser stages and at higher difficulties, including on handheld hardware.
