It’s an interesting one, and doing well on both Steam and Twitch.

The combat did not feel interesting or good to me, but this is still relatively early in development.

And it’s possible for you to bring your pals, which is nice.

You really will need your pals.

While you’re fighting monsters and nabbing loot, other players are doing the same in the same dungeon.

You might bump into them.

They certainly might attempt to murder you.

Murder you then steal your stuff.

Either way, players are slowly pushed closer together by a battle royale-style shrinking circle of death.

If you die, you loose everything you’re carrying.

It’s a good tension to bring to a game, for people who are not me.

I received access instantly, so it seems the alpha is pretty open.

The devs clearly still have a lot to tune and finalise and rework.

This is to be expected because it’s a free alpha test.
