"It's Six Random Characters and a Single Floor Dungeon, That's the Whole Game"
Rating: 3.5 Stars (out of 5)
The Good:
Pure, Unfiltered Nostalgia: If you grew up dreaming of classic dungeon crawlers, this game scratches that itch with a charmingly retro aesthetic and straightforward premise.
Randomness as a Feature, Not a Flaw: Every run is a fresh chaos fest — with six characters, 105 classes, and 28 races, no two adventures feel quite the same. It’s like playing dungeon roulette with a party of your own creation.
References Galore: Fans of JRPGs and old-school RPGs will enjoy spotting all the cheeky nods and callbacks peppered throughout the game. From familiar class archetypes to obscure monster designs, it's a love letter to RPG nerds.
Short and Sweet: You can knock out a run in around 30 minutes, making it perfect for a quick escape from reality. Just don’t get too attached to your characters — they’re as disposable as your last deployment.
The Bad:
Visuals and UI: The 3D view is about as user-friendly as a foggy night patrol — hard to see where you're going without squinting. The white menus and high contrast can be a painful flashbang.
RNG Overload: The game’s randomness can be brutal. Some runs are a breeze, others feel like a brutal test of patience, especially since there's no save system mid-run. Expect to die a lot, especially to the boss who seems to spawn right after you get comfortable.
Learning Curve: With 105 spells, 6 classes, and 6 races, every starting loadout feels like a test. Remembering what each spell does (or doesn’t do) is a chore, not a feature.
Difficulty Spikes & Frustration: Some bosses or random encounters can feel unfair, with enemies spam-spamming skills or ganking your key characters. Prepare for some salt.
The Verdict:
If you’re a fan of retro dungeon crawlers, enjoy the chaos of roguelikes, and don’t mind a steep learning curve, this game offers a fun, if unpolished, romp through pixelated mayhem. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of game, leaning heavily on RNG and nostalgia. Expect to die, laugh, and maybe even curse the developers for their bold, no-saves approach.
Would I recommend it? For die-hard RPG fans looking for a quick, quirky challenge — absolutely. For those seeking polished visuals and balanced difficulty — maybe look elsewhere. But if you’re in the mood for a silly, reference-filled dungeon dive with a friend’s sense of humor, this game might just be your next guilty pleasure.
Final Thought:
It’s a game that wears its simplicity on its pixelated sleeve but hides a surprising amount of strategy behind randomness and chaos. Just don’t expect a smooth ride — expect an unpredictable, nostalgic rollercoaster through the depths of a single-floor hell.
