Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a fixed, handcrafted adventure may not prefer procedurally generated dungeons and maps.
- Players who prefer relaxed combat may not suit fast-paced battles against challenging enemies and bosses.
- Players looking for a standalone tower-defense game may not want its action-RPG and roguelike elements.
- Players seeking a realistic setting may not fit a game about creatures, an invading force, companions, and a high-tech gauntlet.
Our take on Reynard
Reynard combines action-RPG combat with tower-defense maps instead of following either genre in isolation. Procedural dungeons, roguelike elements, perk progression, daily runs, and item collection make changing runs central to its structure.
