About This Game

Without fear, you signed the contract which would forever sever your ties to the world above, and now it is your sworn duty to brave the abyss and uncover the secrets of the old world. Your death is guaranteed, but so is your status as a legend.

Gameplay

The ever-shifting abyss provides an adequate challenge to fearless dungeoneers, but don't get too reckless as you only have one life to prove yourself with. Central to this plight is the dynamic of holding your position and pushing ever forward as hoards of monsters try to break your foothold; they are quite numerous afterall, and you'd do well to stand your ground. Don't stall for too long however, or a terrifying force might make itself known and attempt to steal your glory!

what a fun game, polished. challenging. Criminally underrated gem of a game. 20 characters , meta progression, dopamine ? Yes . Great price. Great graphics and sounds. Gosh this game just ticks all the right boxes for me. is it frowned upon to use key markers enabled.

A really fun little game! Kinda like Gauntlet with features. Plenty of characters to unlock and the finite but randomly selected levels keep things pretty fresh, lots of permutations of those characters and upgrades and artifacts... I guess the only thing I could want is a randomly generated Daily Dungeon or Endless Mode or something just for kicks. Once you've unlocked everything (which, with the Priest, isn't TOO hard but challenging enough) there's not a whole lot to do. Either way? 8 or 9 outta 10. Really liked it.
