I don't know what happened, but the controls no logner work and the language randomly switches to something else in the middle of gameplay or when going through the menu.

The combat is creamy.

Underrated.
Though not as polished or engaging as Dead Cells or Hades, it's nice to have a more chill roguelite to play when listening to a podcast or you just want to turn your brain off.

Completed on my switch.
Since I've had zero problems running this on a switch, you probably don't have to worry about performance.
Amazing game with fantastic build diversity.
Love the skill curve, and the amount of content is almost overwhelming at times.
Maybe my favorite roguelite.

Simply one of the best roguelites there are.

Invisible one-shotters are not fun

I scream

I really wish there was a better review system than just "I recommend this game" / "I don't recommend this game".
Overall, the animations and artstyle are crisp, and look very good.
The skill and loot system are both fun and give you a lot of room for experimentation.
The small thing I wish was implemented was cosmetics. I really like actually seeing the armor of my character change as I equip different ones.
The gameplay is what I can complain the most about. I realize that I only have 8 hours on record, however, I will share what I have experienced so far (spoilers ahead):
- most enemies are not a challenge in the slightest
- the enemies that are a challenge, are so due to extremely annoying mechanics (stun lock, huge movement speed debuff,
etc.)
- Some enemies can kill you without it being your fault; I had to restart a level because I got completely trapped by screaming bats that spawned in a circle around me (they push you away from them while damaging you) - I died so fast that I didn't ahve time to kill a single one of them.
- The bosses so far are really boring, and border on tedium. The last boss was just 7 minutes of constant attacking without
any challenge whatsoever, not exactly "engaging" gameplay.
- The characters have a lot of charm, and therefore this is one of the only games of this type where I actually follow the
story. Really good job in this department so far.

Overall, I wouldn't buy this game right now, I would wait until it is more finished than now. That being said, the price is so low that it might be worth a try for those interested.

Edit:
- In one of the levels you have enemeis that prevent you from attacking, and a level modifier
that COMPLETELY heals ALL enemies if they do not take damage for 2 seconds. The last
"boss" of the level has a massive health bar, and casts a massive circle of anti-attck magic
that follows you... Who thought this was a good idea? Almost literally impossible to do it with
the knight.

I'm in a toxic relationship with this game.

I recommend this, because I have never encountered another game that executes this concept better than this game (or other MH games) does. That being said, there is a lot of room for improvement. The most noteable being how you cannot turn while attacking. Since the monsters move around quite a bit, this makes combat feel very clunky and unpolished at times.
And the helper really needs to be replaced.
