This game does its take on this genre very well. The dialogue is actually amusing and interesting, but spaced out enough to not be overwhelming. Story and player progression both move at a good pace so that there aren't large periods of uninterrupted gameplay. Two pieces of criticism are that a lot of weapons feel slow and clunky, but that could just be my personal preference for the twin fists. The second is that the art for Aphrodite makes her face look like a man's. Kind of offputting and not what you would want to say about that goddess. Otherwise, the art is gorgeous. If you like roguelikes or games like RoR2, this is probably a good pickup.

Update: After about 12 hours I have cleared the final boss twice over the course of 21 runs. There is still a lot of replay value due to the heat system and minor story elements. And of course, giving Cerberus as much nectar I can muster.
