  3. Below we cite some of the reviews from Steam.

"It has been exciting to watch how this game has evolved to version 1.0. The developers listened to feedback from day one and continue to do so, unlike many other studios. The game runs great on Steam Deck and is a good soulslick that I recommend everyone check out."

"It's an action RPG that combines soulslike elements and Diablo, but with unique aesthetics and an interesting storyline. The combat is challenging, the exploration is rewarding and it's hard not to like a game where the character opens chests with kicks."

"A neat little action RPG with soulslike elements, with real effort put into the world and story, elements often ignored in the genre."
