The game offers four distinct characters, each bringing a different attack style, and eight dungeons to explore.
Developed by Scumhead, the title runs on Windows and Linux and supports single‑player and Family Sharing. A notable soundtrack by Lukamusics and additional code, sprite and texture work from Sgt. Shivers round out the production, with Foxtongue handling the Steam release.
