This game is addicting and a blast to play with friends. There's a ton to unlock from items, to characters, and even in-game lore if you're into that. It's amazing that they can have multiple characters to fill certain roles (like melee, burst, aoe, etc.) and they all feel unique.

Starting off, you will die. Most likely you won't even progress that far. It's fine though because after you get a feel for the game's mechanics you'll be making huge strides in no time. Discovering new enemies, secrets, and places is fun but even when the joy of discovery is gone, the game still manages to retain a lot of replay value. I cannot recommend this game enough.

Now that I've said all that there are a few issues. The biggest issue is the scaling of the late game. The difficulty shoots through the roof the further you go which means that if at any point you miss a step, the run is done. If you're playing with friends this can mean that you just end up going to the next level, dying and watching your friend get more powerful as you get more and more insignificant to the run with no hope to catch up.

Items are also the most important factor in the game. This means your starting character is mostly negligible. This can be a pro and a con in that any character is viable, but this also means that they all end up feeling the same once you have enough items.

That said, I've spent more than enough time with this game to prove that I like it and that it was worth my money. The issues of the game are overshadowed by the insanely fun gameplay, and even when I've unlocked everything I still play more while waiting excitedly for the next update.
