The game is in early access and my review will be based on that fact. Currently the game is quite basic but what's there is polished well. There's a lot of mages to choose from, the artstyle is fun and the gameplay is smooth and addictive. However this does come with some nuance, some spells are horrible balanced or just unfun to play with. Some spells get interesting upgrades but most of them are copy paste or just not that interesting to play with. There's 3 levels, 3 difficulties, endless mode and only 1 boss throughout the game. The boss also only has one ability so it's more like an upscaled mob with a stagger meter. All in all great game but could use some more meat on its bones.

A fun game for playing together. It is a pity that at the moment there is little content and the game is passed leisurely farming for a couple of evenings with friends. I am glad that the developers have not abandoned the game and every month add a little bit of new content.

Cant recommend playing without friends till there's a fix for losing all progress when the host leaves mid match.

This is easily one of the most boring out of tens of bullet hell games I've ever played. Spells are lackluster, unlocks do not feel like achievements, nothing in the game seems to feel rewarding. It might be OK in co-op mode when you goof around with friends, but besides that, this just isn't fun.

Decent game for the price and early access. If you like this sort of thing, try the demo and I reccommend playing with friends.

1. The main reason I don't recommend it in its current state... the game itself is too simple. The only thing to do is kill a bunch of mobs, then the boss. You beat the game once, and you've experienced the entirety of the game. 2. Searching for Lobby... Searching for Lobby...... Searching for Lobby......... Joining Game You have been disconnected. The matchmaking system is the worst system ever for a low player base. Its either entirely random and end up playing easy mode all day. Or you have to pick the EXACT thing you want, and pray someone else is too. Its just horrible. Its better than nothing, but it just sucks. 3. Endless mode needs more work too. WAY TOO SLOW after killing a boss. Trickle in the weakest mob for the first half of a round when we're already so strong... its boring. 4. The "bonus stats" on the mages needs a major boost too. Most are completely weak. +2 luck for example, Yay... so exciting (nope). These "buffs" are SO WEAK, I feel like I'm picking my starting spell more than I'm picking a specific mage. Because of this there is also one mage that is NERFED to the floor because the starting spell is too strong. -300 health and elements are more punishing to you. Why? Fix the spell rather than nerf the mage. The only reason to play this mage is for the starting spell. 5. Elements need some balancing too. Fire is pointless. You can only have 1 DoT at a time, and most mobs get hit (many many many) times before the DoT even "ticks" once. On the other end, Lightning and Ice elements are extremely powerful and pretty much mandatory. ---- The base game overall seems ok, it just needs more.

Good rogue-like game with co-op play. So few like this sadly but it really does change up the vampire survivor formula (which also greatly improved after getting co-op). The only negatives: 1. Diversity in enemies. You pretty much see everything in your first hour playing. Hopefully improved in future updates. 2. The spells are too balanced. One of the best things to do in these types of games is finding the OP builds and luck in to them on a run. Or those that just suck. Sadly this imbalance does not appear to exist making your spell choices not very important. There is no good or bad choices.

The Content repeats too much. The map ice/lava is way too negative I do not recommend this game. Unlocking the new content is supposed to be achieving.

i love this game but it would be great if you could hold a button to delay the spell upgrades while focusing on mass packs and letting go of the button and do the upgrades when in a safe area. Mostly die when coming out of spell upgrades at bad times.

A small game and easy to play. But could've been better if the higher difficult offers more variant of the gameplay instead of scaling those mobs stats. But so far I'm enjoying this game.
