« I like its combination of strategy and luck. The tooth upgrades and shop items allow for different strategies. I really like the art style. Runs great on the Steam Deck; some text is occasionally difficult to read. »

« A unique roguelike dungeon crawler from an indipendent French studio. The artwork and the music are great and the gameplay is top notch! Works great on SteamDeck. »

« La DA est magnifique. Malheureusement toutes les runs se ressemblent, ce qui est dommage pour un roguelite. La méta progression est également très lente pour peu de gain sur les runs suivantes. »

« Le jeu est sympa, la DA est cool, l'idée intéressante. Le seul problème, c'est qu'il n'y-a qu'un seul perso véritablement viable. Les autres sont nuls et inintéressants. Dommage, ça ne donne pas envie de continuer. »

« Didn't click for me -- some original concepts but each run is very similar. Virtually identical with same character but even between characters the difference isn't huge (only unlocked the first 3). Ultimately I lost interest rather quickly »

« The game is really GRINDY, I don't like it. There's no much depth in terms of tactic and strategy. And the dumbest: gold extraction mechanic(you need to choose between mid-run shops and saving for meta-progression). »
