👍 Strengths

183 reviews enjoy it, the most upvoted calling the core mechanics decent and worth supporting a solo developer at a low price. 30 enjoy the progression loop over days of grinding, and 29 praise the build depth, the most upvoted citing synergies between daggers, rings and bleed effects.

Gameplay appears in 66% of analyzed reviews and ranks 1191st of 1396. 88 reviews find progression too grindy, the most upvoted farming basic gear for hours without a single drop. 33 find class balance off, the most upvoted calling the warrior badly underpowered in boss fights, and 21 find inventory handling clunky, the most upvoted missing basics such as filtering.
