Sort of an impulse purchase, a little out of my regular wheelhouse. I think I gave it a fair shot, but it probably isn't for me. It's a satisfying gameplay loop for sure, but for whatever reason (maybe I didn't feel I was improving quickly enough?) it couldn't get its hooks in me.

That's a thing of note about roguelites: either they hook you and you get that compulsive, I-want-to-play-this-forever feeling or they don't, and if they don't they just feel hollow. Doesn't mean the game actually IS hollow, just means it didn't sucessfully capture the necessary parts of your brain.
