When I first started playing this, I was hooked. I thoroughly enjoyed it up until I beat it a few times. After beating it the first time and then replaying it on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th difficulty levels, the game started to wear me down. The runs just take way too long. It's a lot harder to come back for another run when you just lost after 3+ hours of playing.

Easily comparable to Slay the Spire (which I think is one of the best roguelikes around and an easy 5/5) which takes maybe an hour or a bit longer to complete a high level run, this game takes a toll on you.

I liked all the different mechanics but setting things up and executing them just takes too much time/effort. After really, really enjoying this for the first 30 hours or so of playtime, it fell off pretty quick due to frustration. Unlike games like Rogue Legacy, Hades, and Slay the Spire which immediately encourage "another go!" this one just beat me down.
