Fantastic game, can't wait for proper release of the fourth character. mods give it a far longer lifespan than you'd initially expect but even the base game has a great depth and scaling difficulty to it. Fully recommended.

A fantastic little time sink game, with some nice humour and good flow early on. Late game can get pretty grindy and mind numbing if you arent willing to exploit some of the more obscure mechanics, especially if you are achievement hunting... but nothing that would stop you from enjoying the game. A solid 8/10 for me.

Im of two minds about this game. On the one hand, it was a lot of fun to learn and play, and theres a definite air of mystery that surrounds the whole game. On top of that the bosses are Mostly fun to figure out and destroy after many repetitions.

However... there are some significant negatives as well.

Chiefly, my God does this game need a checkpoint system of some type. It feels like it was trying to strike a balance between 'souls-like' difficulty and 'rogue-like' exploration, but endded up falling between two stools, having neither the consistency that souls-like difficulty needs to feel fair despite the oppression, nor the exploration and slow between-runs progression of a rogue-like.

Because of the lack of checkpoints and progression between runs, the difficulty feels more stifling than challenging, and the need to continally retread old ground with nothing to show in terms of advancement begins to wear very quickly. The random elements end up more frustrating because you cant find that one really great upgrade again and you feel like no run is going to go well until RNGeesus blesses you with the right combination of boss location and upgrades.

All of this ALMOST chokes the fun out of the game. Almost. The postiives outweigh the negatives, because the gameplay is fun and at the very least DOES provoke the same 'souls-like' feeling of satisfaction when you progress despite the games limitations.

Overall, a high 70's low 80s game, that could easily have been a high 80's low 90's with just a simple checkpoint system. Good regardless, but painful for what might have been.

A little gem of a game. I highly recommend as a way to get your chill on. Short but sweet, doesnt outstay its welcome. Gotta admit, been a long time since I smiled as much from spending £2. Even better if you can get it on sale.

This game is absolutely incredible. I loved everything about it even before the updates and it just keeps getting better with time. Buy it now while its price is twice reduced. You won't regret it.
