A puzzle game that tricks you into learning, good game to pick up and put down when you want to spend some time.

TL:DR Don't buy the game, the devs abandoned it.

This game had so much potential to be amazing, however, choices made by the developers shot down any potential this game had. Choices such as:
  • Not allowing the steam workshop to have creative items like monsters and dungeon decorations
  • Tying dungeon difficulty with an enemy to checkpoint ratio so that creators can cheese the difficulty.
  • Not allowing multiple objects to be in the same tile at once, meaning NPC's had to be moved to continue dialogue chains.
and much more.

Not to mention that this game seems to have been abandoned by the developers, with no updates being released since 2017, and seemingly no communication with the fans on the status of the game's development.

There are also problems with the games balancing, as ranged is very overpowered, for both the player and enemies, as a group of skeleton archers can wipe out the player, and if the player has a ranged weapon or ability, they can finish a dungeon without even being hit.

If the game was updated to allow people to mod content into the game, just as new enemies, traps, and building assets, this game could have been huge. But the controls, the games' looks, the general bugs that can be easily encountered, and the choices made by the devs to restrict what the player can do creatively has all but shut down this game.

Do not waste your money on this game, even on a sale, there are plenty of other games that can offer you the same features as this game, but with better controls and gameplay.

Edit: I have read the comments to this review, just to clarify, this game was released onto Steam Greenlight (Early Access) in 2014, the game remained in this state until 2017 where the developers changed the game from early access to a fully released title despite them still asking for community feedback and ideas, and promising more content and updates which we never got.

The devs went silent and put the game on the store as a finished game despite not adding the content they had promised, and not fixing the known bugs and issues that were being posted in the forums.

If you want an example, look at the community pins for the game, people are still hoping that the devs will come back and make good on their promises, they're even making mods to forcibly add content themselves.
