This was my first foray into a 'rogue-like' game, and I tend to avoid games of hard difficulties... however this kept getting recommended to me so I dived in. And god am I glad I did.
Let me be real, this game is difficult, you will die, you will fail at a boss and have to start right at the beginning however you'll strengthen as a character in game and you'll become a better player - It is so so so rewarding watching yourself progress - I highly recommend this game
