One of the Best Rougelike games on the market.

This Review is based heavily on the exp patch for the game and i would ignore all of the negative reviews with 40hrs or less of playtime. They are most likely people annoyed with features that have been removed in the Exp patch.

The Developers listen so much on the discord and ive never seen so much dev feedback from a small team. i would 100% go drop into the discord and see for yourself.

Now for my actual game review.

Positives:
+Game has a huge skill tree that allows you to pick the items you want at the pace you want. i cant stress how different the game is on skill tree 5 than on skill tree 1.
+Feels rewarding and unlocking characters means an entirely new way to play.
+Endless amounts of synergies like nothing ive ever seen before.
+Fantastic item and weapon design.
+Perfect mix of slow and face paced game-play.
+Gorgeous Visuals and art style i cant fault it at all.
+Its just very fun and fluid to jump into and blast out a few runs.

Negatives:
-Core gameplay loop can be a bit tedious until you get to grips with the game.
-Music can be quite choppy and repetitive and unless you get an enjoyable weapon to listen to they really do clash.
-Lack of Bosses, overall the amount of managers and bosses is just too few.
-Too easy even on hard. I hope they add harder modes to make it more challenging.

Summary:
In short the game is amazing and only held back by very minor issues and flaws. with the amount the devs are listening at the moment i dont see why this game cant be the next big rougelike it has that much potential. The game is a totally different beast when you get to late game and getting the perfect items just feels amazing. you can make the game harder for yourself now but i cant wait until the devs give us an insane difficulty with more managers and bosses. overall i feel like this game is totally worth the money every penny.

Its not too fast paced and just hits you in the sweet spot making you want to play one more run just to see if you can get that amazing rainbow show on the screen. items are perfectly synergised and you feel like a god when you get that perfect seed. almost all of the issues have and will be addressed in the future on the exp build for the game. i cant stress how important it is for you to use the exp build in the beta section of steam properties. it totally changes the game.

All in all i think this game is a hidden gem and is totally worth the money final score 8.5/10

EDIT: So they have added abyssal mode and i have to say after running with it this is the absolute way the game is to be played. it makes the game allot harder and allot more rewarding if you can finish a run. with the addition of this mode and all of the stuff on the Exp Patch the game is easily 9/10
