    About the game

    You pick a rabbit-eared class and fight through a run of five stages, each ending in a boss. Along the way you pick up loot and buy upgrades in a shop. A full clear can take 40 minutes or more.

    Up to four players can join, on one PC, online or both at once. Boss attacks work like raid mechanics. One tells the group to bunch up, the next sends everyone far apart, and some tie you to a teammate. Loot is rolled for, so you tell each other what your build needs. Playing alone swaps these mechanics for bullet hell patterns.

    Easy difficulties are forgiving. The hard ones ask you to learn each boss by failing it a few times. It suits a group that likes calling out positions and does not mind repeating a fight.
