The lore and story, and the execution of it is among the most intriguing I've come across. It's a bit more on the nose, than say Hollow Knight, but it's a real feat delivering cosmic horror in this fashion.
Gameplay wise I'd recommend you get a controller with a turbo function on it, because the fighting is button mashing and a numbers game. I may not be the most skilled player, but sometimes there's so much going on I can't even see my character, so be aware if you're more on the casual side.
I think you do this game a disservice thinking of it as a Metroidvania-roguelite. Of course these elements are there as building blocks, but they use them to make Sundered bring something new to the table.
Backtracking can be a chore as there's no fast travel spots, and the amounts of enemy encounters could've been toned down, just a notch. Otherwise a very enjoyable game.
