Press Quotes

“Beautiful action inbound.” IGN “With the launch of its free demo, I jumped in to get a feel for how it played – really the key factor for me in any good roguelike – and was impressed by what I saw.” PCGamesN “The game's swish inky art direction is its obvious silver bullet, or perhaps, silver rope javelin.” Rock Paper Shotgun
