The game is great in co-op and singleplayer. Imagine Slay the Spire style deckbuilding and combat, but you have four characters going instead of one (so 4 different decks with different card pools to choose from).

The story mode adds a lot of strategy to the game as variance in enemies and map are dramatically reduced so you can plan around what enemies and events are upcoming. This has the upside of allowing cool special events that account for actions you took earlier in the run, giving you a lot to try out across multiple runs.

The characters all play differently in a satisfying way, and the perk system for the story mode enables you to try unique builds that fundamentally alter how you play. (For example, some perks convert damage types on buffs/debuffs, which means it now interacts with different cards and items). Items on your run can be incredibly synergistic and can change how you paly on runs heavily. This is the heart of making a good roguelite to me, as a plethora of meaningful choices that change how you play give the game a lot of replayability.

The mechanics in this game have a lot of depth and interact with each other in ways that are fun to explore and try to take advantage of. Sometimes you run into a funny anti-synergy or get punished for relying too heavily on a single strategy, but its always in a way that you could have played around, which makes your choices feel impactful and important.

Lastly, for better or worse though, runs through the story mode take a long time. For me, that was a bonus (as you can quit and come back later at basically at any point, so you dont have to do it all in one go), as I got to enjoy the game thoroughly for a long time.

Developers ahve basically abandoned it after a short burst to get it to 1.0 release and give out kickstarter things to fulfill steam and kickstarter contracts. Still buggy and broken DO NOT BUY
