« Je voulais faire profiter mes amis d'un bon roguelike mais le jeu n'est pas compatible avec la Steam Family. Je mettrai une review positive quand ce sera le cas. »👎 anonymous review · 11 h played« Ce jeu est très difficile dès qu'on meurt on revient à zéro »👎 anonymous review · 3 h played« Générique au possible, une musique agaçante, un gameplay correct mais sans réelle nouveauté. Il manque clairement d'identité pour se hisser à la hauteur d'un Returnal. Bref, je ne crois pas du tout à ce projet. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Why do you have family sharing turned off? »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« I cannot recommend this game for a Steamdeck/handheld PC currently. I hope the traditional PC play is enjoyable. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« I really like the game, gameplay feels nice, art work is beautyfull, but man the game is so buggy lately, i don't want to grind anymore :( will come back later tho »👍 anonymous review · 13 h played
