Sephiria: The Bunny Roguelite With a 96% Steam Score Is Finished
The team behind Dungreed spent 16 months in early access. Now Sephiria's full release has six chapters, four-player co-op and an Overwhelmingly Positive rating. Why roguelite fans should look up.
A village of rabbits, a tower full of demons, and a backpack you have to pack like a puzzle. That is Sephiria, and players clearly love it: the top-down action roguelite from Korean studio Team Horay holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, with 96% of more than 3,100 English reviews recommending it.
After entering early access on 3 April 2025, Sephiria reached its full 1.0 release on 31 July 2026. It costs $17.99 on Steam and supports online co-op for up to four players.
From Dungreed to Bunnyville
Team Horay is not new to this. Its earlier game, Dungreed, a side-scrolling pixel-art action roguelike, built the studio a following on Steam. Sephiria is billed as coming "from the makers of Dungreed", and the two games are now sold together in a bundle.
This time you play a bunny trying to stop demons from destroying Bunnyville. You climb a tower across six chapters, fighting more than 60 enemy types and over 10 bosses.
The backpack is the build
What makes Sephiria special is how it handles items. Instead of simply stacking upgrades, you collect and arrange artifacts, and how you place them matters. The full release also brought a final chapter, a final boss and plenty of discussion about the best inventory setups.
On top of that you can:
- Upgrade six weapon types.
- Unlock new Talents on each run.
- Team up online with friends, or play alone.
Each run asks you to make trade-offs. A powerful artifact might only work next to another one, so you are constantly deciding whether to keep a safe layout or gamble on a stronger combination that might arrive later. Weapons change how you fight, and Talents push each attempt in a different direction, so two runs rarely feel the same.
The result is a game where the thinking happens between fights as much as during them, which is exactly the kind of depth that keeps roguelite fans coming back.
What 96% means on Steam
Steam's Overwhelmingly Positive label is the highest rating a game can get. It needs at least 95% positive reviews from a large number of players, so it is rare, especially for a roguelite, a genre whose fans are famously picky about balance. Sephiria's recent reviews are just as strong, at 96% as well. That consistency matters: it means the full release did not upset the early access players who had been there since 2025, and new players are arriving to the same verdict.
Why it matters
Korea has produced several excellent roguelites in quick succession, from Shape of Dreams (read its story) to Sephiria. Team Horay's success is quieter, but just as telling: a second game that improves on the first, a long early access period driven by feedback, and a finished product that players rate almost perfectly.
WGC's take: if Shape of Dreams is the loud co-op party, Sephiria is the one you play with a cup of tea, rearranging your backpack for the fifth time. Both are worth your evening.
