Our take on The Reaper Survivors
Rather than centering combat on manual ability timing, the game automates ability casting and shifts attention toward movement, enemy positioning, soul collection, and build choices. Its room-by-room progression also replaces a more open-ended gothic adventure structure with discrete combat stages and boss encounters.
