Solid turn-based roguelike, the combat system with its dice mechanic is challenging and fun. There is a enough variety of chimeras, equipment and tokens that, combined with the dice customization, allows for various strategies.
The presentation is good, the UI is intuitive and clean, the sounds, the art style, all the artistic elements are well put together.

This game is fun... for about a third of its duration, then you realize it's not.
I get the game difficulty premise, but it doesn't respect your time as a player. After a dozen of hours, the slow progression only adds to the unnecessary repetition of dungeons to get resources and xp to level up your characters, this got me really tired, the game becomes pure monotonous and tedious grind, and it only gets worse in the endgame, especially if some character dies. But I accepted the challenge, and boy, it was a slog to finish.
