Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
Choose a hero and descend through a dungeon, preparing a backpack that doubles as your combat system. Gear takes up differently shaped spaces, and its effects depend on where and how it is placed.
During automatic battles, an orb circles the backpack’s perimeter and activates items when it passes their trigger points. Arrange gear to link effects and build combinations, while balancing extra item space against the longer route the orb must travel.
Between fights, visit shops, collect loot, and encounter events as you refine your build; some items can be combined into upgraded gear. Runs lead toward a 30-floor clear, with further challenge options and an endless mode, while unlocks and permanent upgrades carry progression between runs.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the orb-driven backpack planning, finding satisfaction in arranging items, linking effects, and experimenting with builds. Several describe it as absorbing, while others find runs slow or too easy in the standard dungeon and criticize the endless mode’s difficulty. Reviews also frequently raise concerns about the UI, tutorial, and AI-generated art.
