No, at least not right now.

Amazing aesthetics, cool voice acting, solid hero designs, good game controls and a fluid combat. In terms of the general feeling of the world it offers, it does not fall short of The Curse of the Dead Gods. Absolutely better in a limited number of areas.

However the game is also frustrating to an extent. It feels like it was balanced with only co-op in mind. In my 2 hours of solo experience with The Snow Queen and The Pied Piper, it just felt... unrewarding? Unreasonably punishing? I think it would be a $wiser$ choice to lean more towards a rogue-lite genre, rather than a rogue-like one. Even though I loved most of what this game offers, it still felt like a chore after 3-4 attempts. I don't know if it's just my taste, but this difficult introduction was not what I was expecting.

There needs to be a power balance for solo gameplays, especially for The Snow Queen. It was just underwhelming. I could even call The Pied Piper overpowered compared to that.

Just one dodge? I mean why? Introduce a stamina system like you have in The Curse of the Dead Gods and let us have an even more dynamic combat.

Character progression and skill unlocks felt a bit too slow and random, considering the unnecessarly implemented timer/countdown for the boss fight.

Speaking of the countdown... again, I'd rather have something similar to the linear room progression in The Curse of the Dead Gods, to reach the boss fight. I get that this game tries to have more of an "open-world" type of approach, but what actually is the point of an open-world if I'll just have to run around with a ticking time bomb, rushing to kill as many mobs quickly and unlock some upgrades. If I won't be able to enjoy the "open" world, and be forced to rush through it, just make it a linear "room after room" system and at least let me play with my desired pacing within those rooms.

I'll sadly get a refund for this now, and check back later if these sort of updates have been implemented. Next time I buy, I'd also expect at least a 35-40% discount as well. I honestly hope to see it get improvements and waaay more content (not hero options), and maybe get addicted to it in the future!
