Wanna love this game but god I don't like this genre
The game looks gorgeous: the art design, the backgrounds, the portraits, the animation, the enemies, and the weapons. It's not only unique but it's so bound to the gameplay that it feels amazing. You expect action to be done, it's done, you see the enemy doing an animation, and you know exactly what's gonna happen. The game deadass should be an example of readability and a good-looking, well-playing game altogether.
It also sounds good, the sound design adds, even more, feel to gameplay and the sounds are unique and easily digestible. The music tho... I know a lot of people liked it, and for me, it's aight, I added some of the songs to my playlist, but honestly, it's not my jazz
I heard there is like 2 equal camps: 1 that enjoys the voice acting and the second one that thinks it's shit. It's awesome, i love it.
Okay so now about the bads:
1) I don't like roguelike, roguelites, or whatever the hell that is. Yeah, I understand the point, but god damn it's repetitive as hell. You kinda just play the same level over and over again, making the same build whenever you can, and if you cannot, you suffer. It's kinda like gambling, yeah you can make an overpowered build but it's just random. Yeah, technically you can beat the game with any build, but cheesus, I suffered for quite a lot of builds. So it kinda becomes a game, where you just hope that this run you will get something good, or you start the run and know that this one will be for the grind.
In the end, it feels like:
I get a good build -> it's a fun game
I don't get a good build -> it's a fucking enemy bullet-sponge fest
2) Story - it's a very interesting good way to tell the story when your death progresses the story further, but my god, I didn't care about any of that. And even with such good voice acting damn. I can't even find a reason, the dialogues are pretty good, the characters are also good, the voice acting is good, idk why i didn't like it
Overall if you like this genre you have probably already played it and loved it. If you want and wanna experiment, go for it, it's probably the best one. If you don't want to experiment, you can skip it
