Having finished multiple runs, unlocked most of the runes, and explored many of the different areas I am content saying I have “finished” the game but I will be continuing on and off for a very long time I am sure because this game is just a blast to play.
The combat is incredibly up my alley, stabbing and rolling around feels super fluid and natural: i felt like it clicked with me almost instantly and I have still not gotten sick of it at all. Things are kept fresh with a variety of different weapons to try (dual blades are the best though) and tons of different enemies across the stages. Add in the different upgrades and rogue like systems and you have a game you could play for hundreds of hours.
I am very picky with rogue like games, sometimes they click with me and sometimes they don’t, it all depends on how satisfying each run feels regardless of success or failure. While I still think Rogue Legacy 1/2 are my favorite implementation this game made me feel like every run was worthwhile by implementing a level system where you could spend your souls between each stage. This allowed progression to continue on even if you weren’t having the best run.
I am also a big fan of the fact that you don’t need to have grinded forever to actually have a complete run, since it only took me 3 runs to finish for the first time. I always appreciate a more skill based approach to a “you should have had better stats” one. This is definitely a game I will be picking up and playing for the foreseeable future and it joins Rogue Legacy 1/2 and Slay the Spire as my favorite games in this genre.
