« Definitely Spell Rogue-like, which is good, I love that game. I agree with people saying the builds are a little 'on-rails', but for $10 the game is amazing. Buy it, support these dudes, if you like this genre at all you won't regret it! »

« The mechanics are interesting but it's a slog. Each turn is a grind. It's essentially Slay the Spire with dice and worse graphics. It has some really unique synergies but it's a case of quantity over quality. »
