« A promising game, however the difficulty spike at four skulls and lack of meta progression make the second half of this game tedious at best, unplayable at worst. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 5 h played1« Got bored of this one rather quickly. Seems like it has potential, but the gameplay loop is rather lacking and you have to grind if you want to try out new stuff. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 3 h played« Disappointing. The overall experience becomes boring after a few runs. Progression is just unlocking new weapons, captains, etc., which aren't upgrades by any means. No meta progression. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 12 h played« Nope, very repetitive. Difficulty feels over-tuned for the sloppy controls. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 2 h played« The game is enjoyable moment‑to‑moment, but it plays like a roguelite without any long‑term progression. Since runs don’t lead to meaningful upgrades or growth, it ends up feeling repetitive. Not recommended in its current form. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 3 h played« For Hardcore gamers :) Easy to grind and buy evolution Enemies pools can be crazy damage and you need to learn how to combinate and dodge »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 15 h played
