What players say

88% of 43,808 reviews are positive · 74% of 85 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the board game-like co-op, turn-based combat, and unlockable content that adds variety across runs. The dominant complaint is that randomness can outweigh planning, with bad rolls, scarce healing, scaling, and sudden party wipes making even easier runs feel punishing.
