It did not grip me. I will admit that it has its charm and it is impressive how much can be achieved with ASCII, but it is a little too clunky for me to be enjoyable.
It works great on steamdeck with the community template. The music is really nice (I'm going to buy the soundtrack, I think it's worth it). And the game can be challenging on lunatic mode. I like it a lot!

這款遊戲蠻厲害的,用文字來呈現各種圖案,另外所有的玩法也都是透過文字敘述來遊玩,本身不反對看文字的玩家可推薦! 但是遊戲是全英文,需要有一定程度才玩得起來...小弟邊玩邊翻譯挺痛苦。
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cool system. Definitely will have you wanting to punch something sometimes because it can be super brutal if you screw up and don't pay attention.
So fun to play! I've never played a game in this style before, but am having a great time with strategizing battles and picking which items give the best stats. It's a balancing act of choosing what will help health, strength, intelligence, etc. and what kind of build you want. I really like the ascii kind of art style, and each playthrough something new happens such as finding secret chests or bosses with unique abilities. Although you can't see the battle physically happening, it still feels like a real battle somehow with the sound effects, lowering of health bars, and different abilities that are possible. Open your mindscape and see number go up! Great game!

It's been exactly one decade as of writing this review when this game released.. Time flies so fast.. And even in 2025 it's still hella fun. It would be real neat if the devs just added some more content for this game or hell, even a sequel. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
