I've been putting off playing this game ever since I saw the GDC talk on WFC and now that I've finally played it I'm hopelessly addicted to its world and gameplay. You will lose your characters learning about the world, discovering new mechanics and enemies, and generally figuring out what does and doesn't work; I couldn't recommend this game enough, it's a lovingly crafted no compromises rogue-like (in every sense) with none of the toxic meta-progression that has infested the genre.

P.S. When you finally start trying to make a custom build instead of using the presets, I highly recommend making a mutant pilgrim with max toughness and willpower and flame ray + regeneration + psychic. It is a fairly forgiving and straightforward build that will let you learn the game before you move on to more difficult builds.
