What players say

80% of 15,350 reviews are positive · 86% of 196 in the last 30 days

Players praise the simple, chaotic co-op combat and experimenting with wizard and spell combinations. The most common complaint is that the full-release update greatly increased the progression grind, making unlocks slow and repeated runs feel more repetitive; some also report lag and no way to rejoin after a disconnect.
