A really, really good roguelite-side mode.

A completely new and really large map created for the DLC to explore, and the mechanic that everything you do in a full run persists between each character you pick playing after one another. Supplies you leave in a safe spot can be grabbed by your next character, and so on.

Certain builds completely break the balance, but that's on par for the course with the base game. And runs aren't super different from one another, even in the same "full run", most differences being some areas that get repopulated with enemies, as well as some areas being more dangerous due to power outages or fire outbreaks.

The different characters you can play as do change the way you play, as each of them effectively features what is a significantly reduced skilltree from the basegame, usually focusing on specific aspects of it, with very few new skills being added.

Overall, the gameplay loop is still largely the same as the base game, and I personally only recommend grabbing this DLC if you really want more of the base game with a few tweaks.
