i got into this game again semi-recently because of a video and oh my god this is genuinely one of, if not the best roguelikes/lites out there. this game excels in basically every aspect i want.

builds have millions of ways they can plan out depending on both arcanas and relics, meaning it's basically infinitely replayable.

the combat is super fluid, letting you be a combo beast OR a projectile throwing sharpshooter. it is basically entirely up to player skill, and while some builds make combat much much easier you can excel with nearly anything depending on how good you are.

everything art-related is REALLY good. sound design is crisp and you can FEEL some of these gotdamn attacks. art is pretty to look at and there are some sick arcanas visuals-wise. music (i main piano solo) is good and never gets old. there's also a very low-stakes story, which is nice. no big overarching plot, you just a guy trying to make it big in the chaos trials.

and the best part? RNG is almost a non-factor in this game, it is nearly ENTIRELY up to the player to get good. like i said before: while some builds are DEFINITELY better than others in combat, you can get to Sura with just about anything. it's very different from something like The Binding of Isaac, where RNG is basically THE element deciding whether your run is either fucking awesome or an instant reset. in this game, RNG never feels like it hoes you out of a good build, rather it gives you access to something a little better.

amazing game, i still don't have all the arcanas and relics, but I can play this shit forever
