Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
In a world devastated by Ragnarok, play as one of its surviving heroes and battle through the Nine Realms. Each survivor brings a distinct set of weapons and abilities to the fight.
Runs pit you against waves of approaching creatures. Move to avoid contact, attack with weapons that may fire automatically or require aiming, and gain experience to improve your abilities during the run. Realms include boss encounters.
Unlock more survivors, weapons, abilities, and relics as you progress. Each hero has a constellation skill tree, while the persistent Yggdrasil tree grants upgrades between runs. Adventure, Ragnarok, Daily Challenge, Custom, and Nightmare modes offer different ways to play.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight the distinct survivor playstyles, the steady stream of unlocks, and the satisfaction of trying different builds in fast-paced runs. The Norse-inspired art and music also receive praise. Critical reviews frequently describe the permanent upgrades as grindy, and some players find character balance and later-run variety uneven.
