« I was a bit hesitant to start this game because of the combat system, but thanks to the difficulty update I did. And the funny thing is that once I got into it, I really liked the mechanics and turned it back to normal mode. »

« This game would be so much better without combat. Even in story mode, there are still monsters. That’s not what I would call a story mode. »

« If you like the previous Deep Sleep games, you'll most likely like this as well. The focus on turn based combat is new, and some don't like it, but I personally think it fits, as not all enemies have to be fought if you're careful. »

« Good game. Dungeon crawler with simple but deep enough combat mechanic and decent story. Scriptwelder's games are very underappreciated, they deserve much more recognition. »
