Weapons, perks and broken builds
You pick a weapon type — sword, axe, hammer, large shield, pistol and more — and each one handles differently, with its own light attacks, heavy attacks and spell motions. Then you pile on perks. There are over 500 of them across 20 build paths with names like Druid, Titan, Necromancer and Executioner, plus 20 master weapons unlocked through perks.
That is where the fun lives. With thousands of prefixes, 200-plus jewelry effects, 150-plus rune effects and piles of elemental combinations, you can drift toward something absurd: thorns that heal you, runes that trigger when you lose health, a tank that clears rooms by walking into range. It grinds, and the item flood gets silly past level 40, but making numbers do stupid things is the point.
Run, loot, portal out, repeat
Each round drops you into randomly generated maps against 40-plus monster types and 15-plus elite bosses. You clear rooms, grab from 185-plus pieces of equipment and 360-plus weapon models, then portal back to town when your bags are full. Low-poly rooms, visible skill effects, and another reason to push one floor deeper.
For co-op friends, keep expectations low. Come for parallel dungeon grinding and comparing ridiculous loot, not for a guided co-op campaign.
Good to know?
Can you play it with co-op friends?
On paper, yes: local co-op, co-op and multiplayer are tagged. In practice, the store never says how joining works, and there is no described shared objective, lobby or PvP mode. Treat it as a solo-first loot game you can enjoy alongside friends rather than a night of coordinated team play.
Can you play it solo?
Yes. It is a single-player-friendly dungeon crawler at heart: pick a weapon, learn its attacks, stack perks and clear generated floors at your own pace. If online features do not cooperate, the loop of killing, looting and porting back to town still functions.
How deep does the build system go?
Very deep, and deliberately excessive. Beyond weapons and armor there are 20 master weapons, 20 build paths, hundreds of perks, plus jewels, runes and over 18,000 elemental combinations. You are meant to mix Druid with Shield Wielder logic until your character sheet reads like footnotes.
Does it stay fresh across runs?
The maps and enemies are randomly generated, and the loot math keeps shifting what drops. That keeps early runs varied. The trade is repetition: only a handful of environments cycle, monsters recur, and later floors lean on bigger stats rather than new tricks.
