Overall positive, but many reviewers note that repetition and a lack of content become increasingly apparent as playtime increases. · 80/100

584 total reviews · 83% positive

Best for It suits players seeking a distinctive tactical roguelite for short sessions, those who enjoy pixel art and steampunk-Cthulhu atmospheres, and casual or intermediate strategy fans who like learning boss patterns through repeated play. However, players expecting Into the Breach-level depth, extensive build variety, a long endgame, or a rich story may find the lack of content particularly noticeable.

Strengths

Unique and intuitive turn-based tactical combat centered on positioning and pushing enemies in small battlefields
Four characters offer distinct abilities and playstyles, creating clear differences in character-specific strategies
A steampunk-Cthulhu setting, excellent pixel art, and distinctive character designs

Weaknesses

Combat and exploration become repetitive after roughly 5–8 hours, making long-term play easily tiresome
There are too few items, enemies, events, and build choices, with almost no new progression elements in the late game
Balance issues leave some characters and melee builds at a disadvantage against certain bosses or in later chapters
