❤ Exploring the Dungeon

You navigate through a randomized series of rooms in each dungeon, with each room containing a different event or encounter. Moving from room to room costs "mana", a limited resource that you must manage carefully. If you run out of mana, your party will start taking damage with each move. You can find and use special "gems" that provide various effects, including replenishing mana.

❤ Building Your Party

The core of the gameplay involves collecting different "jewel" units throughout the dungeon. Each jewel has a unique ability and belongs to one or more factions (represented by different colors and symbols). By collecting three of the same jewel, you can upgrade that unit, permanently unlocking its faction bonuses for the current run.

❤ Faction Synergies

A key part of the gameplay is building a party that synergizes well by collecting jewels that belong to the same factions. Each faction provides a powerful passive bonus when you have a certain number of jewels from that faction in your party. You must balance building towards these faction bonuses while also obtaining a diverse set of abilities.

❤ Utilizing Gem Abilities

In addition to your party of jewel units, you can also use single-use "gem" abilities during combat. These gems provide a variety of offensive, defensive, and utility effects that can turn the tide of a battle. Managing when and how to use these gem abilities is critical to your success.

❤ Challenging Difficulty Curve

The game starts off relatively easy, allowing you to learn the basic mechanics. However, the difficulty ramps up significantly once you reach the "Witch's Maze" dungeon. From this point on, you must have a deep understanding of the game's systems, such as faction synergies and gem usage, in order to progress further.

❤ Replayable Progression

Each run is randomized, ensuring that the dungeon layout and available units/gems vary. Additionally, you can unlock new jewels, gems, and other permanent upgrades that carry over between runs, providing a strong sense of progression and encouraging repeated playthroughs.

❤ Reviewers' Praise

Reviewers have praised the depth and complexity of the gameplay, highlighting the satisfying nature of building synergistic party compositions and the challenging, yet fair, difficulty curve. The game's unique blend of roguelike and auto-battler mechanics has resonated with players, who appreciate the strategic decision-making required to succeed.
