Action roguelike for 1-4 players with cute graphics and deep game mechanics. Combine dozens of different weapons, magic items, potions and spells with unique effects to beat 8 enemy factions and 28 bosses. Can you find the ancient goblin artifact at the end of the dungeon?
With each playthrough, the game procedurally generates new dungeons, enemy encounters, and item drops. Reviewers highlight how this ensures a constantly fresh experience, preventing the gameplay from ever feeling stale or repetitive. The unpredictable nature of each run keeps players on their toes and encourages them to adapt their strategies.
Players can choose from ten unique heroes, each with their own specialized combat abilities. The game seamlessly blends action, beat 'em up, and twin-stick shooter mechanics, allowing users to experiment with melee, ranged, and magic-based playstyles. As players progress, they can find and equip randomized weapons, items, and abilities that dramatically alter their fighting capabilities.
A key gameplay element involves the discovery and use of randomized potions. These can provide a wide range of effects, from healing and stat boosts to debuffs and status ailments. Effectively managing and combining potion effects becomes a strategic priority, as players try to synergize their capabilities to overcome challenges.
The game supports local and online co-op for up to four players. Reviewers praise this mode, noting that it adds an extra layer of strategy and chaos as teammates work together to survive. The ability to revive downed allies and coordinate abilities/items is cited as a particular strength of the multiplayer experience.
While the core roguelike mode results in a complete reset upon death, the game offers an RPG mode that allows players to retain certain unlocks and progression between runs. This includes unlocking new playable characters, each with their own unique starting loadouts and abilities. Reviewers appreciate this balance between the unforgiving roguelike challenge and a sense of long-term progression.
