This game shares a lot in common with my favourite roguelite, Slay the Spire, and yet I found it pretty consistently frustrating.

Runs in this game are short, which is a blessing and a curse. I wanted some episodes to end the moment I started them, yet for others I'd finally gotten around to crafting an interesting set of tools that never had a chance to shine. The final boss is never powerful enough to square up against some of the game's most broken tools, so they lose their lustre pretty quickly. My biggest issue is the randomness, which was so prevalent that it felt like I often had no control on how I'd progress. Certain episodes in particular were aggressively un-fun to complete due to how they constantly changed how you played and while I feel as if this will be a selling point to some, I just found it infuriating. The game is solid, I definitely "enjoyed" it, but I was also relieved to see the end of it.
