Set in a cute ink style underworld, this survivors style roguelike scores 70.4, with its art drawing the most praise.

👍 Strengths

Visuals & Sound appears in 46% of analyzed reviews and ranks 589th of 1249. 131 praise the art style and visual details, and some enjoy its humorous writing. 114 find it fun and addictive, with fast combat and satisfying progression once a build comes together. 46 enjoy the strategy of skill gem and rune combinations, describing diverse builds and playstyles. Story & World ranks 750th of 1096.

👎 Where it falls short

66 reviews describe awkward controls and a confusing interface, from controller buttons that cannot be rebound to weak hit feedback and unreliable collision. 36 say the balance is off, with a few builds overpowered while others feel useless, and some note heavy duplication in the item pool. 32 find the content limited, citing few levels, a short campaign and a shared map, and several hope updates add more.
