Inspired By the well-known rogue-like game Hades, slash out of the God Field all the way down to the Demon Domain and defy The Overlord Thanatos in the Deep Frost Hell in this rogue-like dungeon crawler.
The combat system revolves around equipping various runes onto a weapon, augmenting the four basic actions: light attack, heavy attack, skill, and dodge. Players can discover synergies between runes, allowing them to craft unique playstyles that cater to their preferences. This deep customization encourages experimentation and rewards players for finding powerful rune combinations.
Upon death, players lose their current weapon and rune loadout, forcing them to start a new run. However, any gems collected are converted into dust, which can be used to unlock permanent upgrades. This death-based progression system provides a sense of long-term advancement, motivating players to push deeper into the challenging levels.
The game features over 20 unique enemy types, each with distinct attack patterns and behaviors. Players must adapt their combat strategies to effectively handle the different demon foes, adding an element of tactical depth to the gameplay. Navigating these varied encounters requires players to stay alert and capitalize on enemy weaknesses.
Defeating enemies grants the player gems, which can be used to augment their weapon with new rune abilities. The prospect of discovering powerful rune combinations and crafting the perfect loadout is a significant draw for players, as it directly impacts their combat effectiveness and overall playstyle.
The game features four distinct chapters, with randomized level layouts and enemy placements. Each run presents new challenges and opportunities for players to experiment with different rune combinations and strategies, ensuring a fresh experience with every playthrough.
According to user reviews, players have appreciated the overall quality and engaging nature of the gameplay. The developer's responsiveness to player feedback, such as the request for controller support, suggests a commitment to continuously improving the game and addressing community concerns.
