Why couldnt you just make the same game but again, in one of the only times this would have been kino to do?

Roguelike game design almost always sucks, genuinely, and it's all laid out in this game. It's almost always been used by lazy game devs as a crutch for their inability to make good games. The 1/10 in the genre stand out because those games are masterfully crafted with the genre in mind, and end up becoming masterpieces because the talent behind them were, well, talented. This game reeks of laziness and slophouse production. It just takes the original game, ruins it with roguelike elements, then creates an awful environment where levels feel so cheap and uncreative. The powers you get, the way equipment is handled, the way you tackle on the same bland levels over and over, it's genuinely like getting an amazing main course meal like the orignal game, then just dumping a ton of desert on top of it that doesn't match the main meal. "What do you mean you don't like ice cream on your carbonara? They're both great food items you like to eat, so we mixed them!" ahh game.
