### 4/5 — 2時間ほどプレイしました。

*2025-08-04*

ルールが分かれば、易しめのローグライクです。
1試合5分程で終わる為ちょっとした暇潰しには良い感じです。
無料ゲームですが、鬱陶しい広告などもありません。

### 5/5 — Goog game

*2025-07-03*

This rpg game you think the move before you move

### 5/5 — Fast, simple, fun grindfest.

*2025-06-12*

Roguelike with lots of characters and slots for equipment/relics/spells to fine tune your character. You move left, right, and up a grid of traps, chests, monsters, and equipment, (none of which you keep except coins from defeating monsters)trying to get to the end in good enough shape to defeat a boss monster and loot the chest that gives you some permanent items. Use coins and loot/equipment to strengthen a hero, then try a harder level. There are also upgrades that affect all heroes, like “start with a sword” or “add an item slot”. I’m 5 stages in and am going for melee/HP regen focus with the starter hero. You can buy more ok heroes with coins or better ones with gems. I’m not sure what long term gem income looks like, but the base rate seems up to 800 per day from watching ads (200 per ad, up to 1 minute ad) with premium heroes costing 5k. + 1st week logins + 2k from writing a review. Tutorials are quick, re-viewable, with mediocre English…but everything is easy enough to figure out. My favorite roguelike app since Guidus.
