First off, the Mac port is laggy as all get out. It performs terribly, and with this game's need for execution that hurts. A lot. As for the game itself in theory, it's a great idea. It borrows from Rogue-like concepts and uses them in a different way. However in practice it has problems. The hit detection is weird at times (though that could be related to the lagginess mentioned above). Bad for a game so combat-heavy. Further, the upgrade purchasing systems punish exploration. If you go into this game blind, and buy the wrong things, you end up shooting the costs of upgrades way up, and make it difficult on yourself to proceed. I think that's a poor design decision when you're going to hide the bulk of he upgrade tree from the player, both in terms of the Castle and the Runes. Cute little game. Get it on a good sale.
