In-game
« I could've SWORN this was Hades except it has 4 player co-op, but less depth. If the upgrades were more impactful rather than just x% more damage or do x% damage over time then it could be more interesting. »👍 anonymous review · 9 h played1« It's not as polished as Hades from a balance and story standpoint. The story is almost non-existent, but if you are looking for a cooperative game in a similar vein as Hades, and have a friend to play with, this one is fun. »👍 anonymous review · 72 h played1« baught this game today, went on a small walk with my wife outside. set down and played. it's midnight. my wife came to make sure I drank water. I didn't 10/10 »👍 anonymous review · 15 h played111« Good game, hades like, great feeling, nice content »👍 anonymous review · 28 h played« Excellent ! Le mode solo comme le coop sont super agréables et bien équilibrés, même aux difficultés supérieures. La progression est très satisfaisante, et la DA est super sympa. »👍 anonymous review · 30 h played« Bonne expérience de jeu, bonne difficulté maitrisé et un bon panel de compétence, de quoi passer de bons moments et se défouler aussi si on le veut. »👍 anonymous review · 79 h played
« Sadly a case of rushed full release, removing planned stuff like alternate bosses and more. Could respect it while it was in early access, but then releasing 1.0 with almost nothing new makes this a not recommend. »👎 anonymous review · 16 h played11621« Fun until you or host gets disconnected on a run and having to restart. Servers are garbage »👎 anonymous review · 16 h played1« Whole session is kicked and the run is scrapped if any person has connection issues. Will delete this if they actually sort it out. »👎 anonymous review · 31 h played211« Honestly, if you're looking for a co-op hades experience just go play Shape of Dreams. This feels super bare bones in comparison. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played11« Better game in early access then on release, cant even play a full game now with my friend without us disconnecting »👎 anonymous review · 136 h played11« franchement le jeu est juste nickel ! Pour jouer solo ou pour jouer avec des potes, c'est super ! (par contre si vous jouez les carillons avec Moniale, vous m'effrayez.) »👍 anonymous review · 111 h played
