It is decent entertainment but after a couple hours, the combat feels bland even though it is very challenging. My biggest gripe with this game is how it is designed as a 'roguelike' and resets everything after you lose. This leaves for no checkpoints where you can continue playing the next day and so forth, given how expansive the campaigns are. Playing for hours in one sitting becomes torture. Dying becomes frustrating but at the same time you want the whole thing to just end already.

Don't get me wrong, I like a good roguelike game but I feel like Hammerwatch could have been better without meddling into the growing genre.
