There's something wrong with the game that makes it feel.. meh. I don't know what.
Decent classic roguelike. Absolutely incredible soundtrack; check it out for the music, at the very least.
I love the look, sound, and vibe of this game so, so much and the OST brings me immense joy to the point where I regularly listen to it to feel happy. That being said, its way too hard for me lol
Beautifully put together roguelike in the (mostly) classic style. Very reminiscent of some of the best and brightest of the DS era, maybe most notably Shiren the Wanderer, but with WAY more flexibility, character classes, skills and the like. I got reasonably far in but in my stubbornness to play on the classic roguelike setting (i.e. lose all skills, levels and items on death), I've never gone back to see what lies on the surface...
Just could not get into this. I try a lot of Roguelites (or whatever this is defined as) and seem to love 50% and bounce off 50%, sadly this was the latter. Struggled to read some of the stuff on the Switch as well.
One of the best roguelikes you can get on the Steam Deck. Super relaxing, feels good on controller, and has an excellent job system that really snowballs into something special as you play the game.
My completed run (Hardcore mode) took about 8 hours with a Soulkeeper/Floramancer (with a touch of budoka to increase my damage). Crazy summoner archer build that when played right let me have 5-6 summons on screen absolutely shredding shit. The final boss was tough, but I managed it blind just barely.
So many ideas for replayability and challenge runs (Solo, no class changing, etc) as well as Ronin mode makes this a game you could easily sink 100 hours into.. For only about 10 bucks on sale!
My only gripe with the game is I feel Heroic mode (The Roguelite mode) is a bit too focused on preparing for the next run vs enjoying your current. That's why I decided to play the game on Hardcore instead. I could also see the appeal of playing the game on Adventure and enjoying it more as a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon-esque adventure, there's plenty of content here to sink your teeth into even playing withoiut permadeath.
Highly recommend this one if you enjoy grid-based RPGs of any time, especially roguelikes and class-system enjoyers.

I became absolutely enthralled with this game the day that I bought it and haven't touched it since and I have no idea why. What I've played is really wonderful, simple fun.
Incredible! Such a good Traditional RL! I love the combat design. Every job feels radically different, like playing a different game. There's also a ton of ways to build out your character.
