Mais le jeu est parfait. »👍 anonymous review · 6 h played« 14H de court-circuit cérébrale, ce jeu demande a réfléchir, chose que je ne fais jamais.. »👍 anonymous review · 78 h played
« It's technically a competent roguelike but it's just completely sauceless, there's no builds that actually feel fun or rewarding, numbers just increase as you progress »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« Repetitive, boring, not much new. They just change the battle system into dice. Typically roguelike games offer different kinds of playstyles but in this game they didn't offer much, or not something matters. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Optimal way to play is very boring, lack of diversity in combats, not enough synergy with dice in hands. »👎 anonymous review · 24 h played« i really want to like this, but it's missing something compared to other Spirelikes like Peglin or Astrea. the sense of progression is off somehow. it's really close to being good but doesn't have staying power. »👎 anonymous review · 10 h played« i can't enjoy this. either the game is too easy or it's heavily balanced towards higher "ascensions". It's polished to too much of a point, and is a game that will appeal to all but is no one's favorite. »👎 anonymous review · 7 h played« J'avais joue a la demo et je suis vraiment pas decu de la version finale ! Le concept est super genial ! »👍 anonymous review · 10 h played

Who is it for?
This title is perfect for strategic minds who lose themselves in complex, turn-based combo systems and appreciate a polished, indie aesthetic. It is less suited for those who prioritize seamless UI navigation or deep narrative sequences.
Verdict
With a 92% global rating, this roguelike succeeds by turning simple dice-based mechanics into a complex, satisfying loop. While the interface needs refinement to match the quality of the gameplay, the sheer depth of the strategy ensures that most players keep coming back for more.
