  • Roguelite
  • Third-person shooter
  • Co-op

A third-person roguelite shooter in which you collect items that stack exponentially while the difficulty rises with the clock. In co-op with friends it becomes one of the most fun kinds of chaos in the genre.

Why play it now

If you have an hour and some energy, especially with friends: every run ends in an explosion of items and effects.

Who it's for

For groups who want co-op action without committing to a campaign, and for solo players who enjoy absurd builds.

When not to pick it

If screens crammed with effects stress you out, or you don't have the energy to keep dodging for 40 minutes straight.

What it offers

  • Combat / action: 95 out of 100
  • Exploring: 35 out of 100
  • Creating: 35 out of 100
  • Thinking: 30 out of 100
