Reviewers enjoy trying skill combinations alongside the game’s humour. It suits players who want to build their own approach in an absurd dungeon adventure.
What makes it fun
Pair sword skills with Aromatherapy
You can give one character sword skills and Aromatherapy. Combining Skill trees that work together changes your options in the dungeon and how you fight.
Loot can lead you into danger
A chest can lead to a deadly encounter, and an unexplored room can be packed with monsters. Chasing loot means weighing those risks against the Skills in your build.
Even running out of mana gets a joke
Run out of mana and the narration tells you to drink booze. Item descriptions riff on pop culture, and enemies throw out taunts. The writing gives you something to smile at between dangerous fights.
