So far I avoided this game due to procedurally generated content. But its so charming I didnt manage to resist and I ordered it today. Looking forward to play it.

Spent few days with the game and it really is fun game. Nothing groundbreaking, but what it does, it does good. Diablo-like combat is great fun, characters are nice, story is charming. Nothing is really missing in this rather small indie game. I recommend it to anyone who is able to handle procedurally generated levels and encounters.

By the way I play it on Switch as I thought it would be right platform for this kind of game. But characters are rather small and its hard for me to fully enjoy it in handheld mode, so I play in docked regime. I would have bought it on PC, knowing this in advance.

Yep, however the game is more enjoyabe with gamepads (you can simply hold sticks to hit, while with K/M it's constant and tiresome button/click mashing).

Finally got around to trying this. Nicely done game. Pretty pixel graphics, well voiced narrator, fun gameplay, not too easy.

I'd only suggest to the devs to do less zooming in the cutscenes, because it leads to a bit of 'wobbling' with the pixel graphics the game uses. And of course I'd like more explicit options to save the game.
