- Love the pixel graphics and the music was solid. Story was somewhat interesting but kinda generic fantasy.
- Enjoyed all of the different characters / classes, lots of different playstyles. You’re incentivized to play with all of them to unlock cross character bonuses too. Some cool skill tree stuff to unlock as well.
- My biggest gripe is the mismatch of dialogue between the narrator and the subtitles. And he also had inconsistent pronunciation for the same words at times! Add to this a few minor bugs here and there (nothing gamebreaking), and it just felt like this game lacks polish. And this might be a Steamdeck specific thing, but the game would occasionally drop frames for a few seconds which was annoying.
- There’s also a “Trials” mode that I played for a bit after finishing the story. All characters unlocked, randomized maps / goals / enemies, every level you pick 1 of 3 persistent upgrades for the rest of the run. This mode was cool and bumped the game up from a 3.5 to a 4 for me, even though I couldn’t even beat a full 13 map run.
- I’d recommend only if you’re looking to play a roguelite with someone else cause it supports co-op. It’s not a bad game per say, but there’s probably other roguelites out there that are better for a single player experience.
