Excellent RogueLike

Coming from games like Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup on PC and Powder on the ios (back when it was still supported by the dev) I find this game to be simple to dive into but fills the turn based dungeon crawl itch I have from time to time. This is my wife’s first turn based dungeon crawl and she found it to be easy enough to jump into as well!

Fun and challenging!

Just how I like it. I completed the game by unlocking all of the yokai, but there is still endless mode and it’s fun seeing how far you can go!
My tip: find the charm that reduces your hunger and keep it on you forever. Hunger is half of the deaths! And move your extras down the floors with you!
You got this!

Great game

Another must for anyone else who loves 8 bit/pixel rpg/roguelikes.

Fun/Impossible

Impossibly fun, since the odds of succeeding are so slim! The gameplay and visuals really carry the game.

Fun, but please fix this bug!

The game itself is pretty fun-- simple compared to other roguelikes I've played (there aren't many items, the creature stats are pretty easy to understand, etc.) but deceptively challenging. In terms of gameplay, it's not perfect: some of the creatures are pretty unbalanced compared to others, and some of the in-game explanations are lacking or worded in confusing ways (how exactly do Kōdama's abilities work? and what does it mean in Kannushi's arrow description that reflected arrows do triple the damage?), but it's still pretty enjoyable.

There is one particular bug that keeps frustrating me, though. It's happened 3 times now. At least 2 of the times, I was playing as Kyubi. When getting knocked back by Oni's Kanabo attack, I somehow got knocked slightly off the invisible grid the game uses and thus became unable to interact with any items on the ground, including the stairs (because I couldn't go in their squares), or attack "adjacent" enemies with the normal attack. (Strangely, the Aura Bullet still works.) Because it locked me out of progressing any further, I ended up having to abandon all of the runs, which was quite frustrating because I was doing really well up to that point.

So please fix that when you get a chance.
