The combat is fantastic and satisfying, the platforming is fun and responsive. But the story is barely a story and not the best written. I never rolled my eyes or anything at it, or found it boring, it's set dressing more than anything. More of a, "Here's more of a reason to kill these people!" than an actual story. Also, the game is short. It took me 8 hours to beat all the pre-made campaigns, that being said, all of them had really good levels with fantastic gameplay. And one even had a good story! (at least in comparison to the others) that being Therium-2 which I highly recommend, multiple endings, ways to beat the level, secrets, etc. The main campaign and it's prequel are fun too, with very well made levels and scenarios. But this game ultimately feels like a tech-demo or early access to show what the dev is capable of.

Would I recommend this game at full price? No, unless the gameplay just really calls to you. Half price off or around that for everyone else? For sure. The gameplay is great, the mods are quite great too! Speaking of, if you're a rougelike fan, there's a fully working randomized world rougelike that has tons of new mechanics and an open world to explore, so that in itself will add many hours to this game for fans of that type of gameplay. Ultimately I recommend it, just either wait for a sale, or if it really seems like your type of thing, get it now.
