The mods are cool

This game is a total blast. Playing with your friends is the one of the best things about this game. It can get a little messy here and there with all of the characters on your screen, but if your friends are cooperative and just wanna have fun, then good times await. Without friends this game can prove to be suprisingly challenging. I have done the normal playthrough by myself and the insane mode with one friend. This game at its core, is a Run and gun and Boss Run. Its like cuphead but just came out earlier and a little more run and gun sections. Now, I have played for about 39 hours(at time of review) and can say that I have not had any bugs or issues with the game, and this is coming from someone who is playing this on a mac. The depth perception can at times really through you off, in particular the (MINOR SPOILER WARNING) Cyclops boss. With its main dagger smash move being very unpredictable with the hit boxes. If you are thinking about getting this game, a contrller would really help. Although it's not impossible to beat this game on a keyboard (as I did), but it is really difficult. Re-maping keys is the only way to play it on the keyboard. I use and recomend, WASD for movement, 1 and 2 to cycle through equipment, LShift for sheild block, Space for jump, Mouse 1 for heavy attack, Mouse 2 for light attack. My mouse has 2 side buttons that I use as well. Button 4 is to activate magic and Button 5 is to use an item. Keep in mind that you do not have to use the bindings that I did, but I found that this was the best for me.

This game has a lot of meat on it's bones. There are 2 ways to play the game. 1 is on the normal difficulty, challenging to try alone, but fun with friends. 2nd is Insane mode. This mode is not for the faint of heart. keep in mind you have to beat the normal campain to unlock the insane mode. I tried beating it by myself and found it to be impossible. If you want to play it alone then go a head, but fair warning, you will die and get upset, A LOT. With friends this mode is still very difficult, but can be overcome. One new added game mode feature I personally do not like is the Back of Barbarian. Although I get why they made the controls a lot different for the uniqe style, but I could just never find myself getting use to it. The arena is a typical arena, you can fight your friends to see which one of you is the best, but other than that, you probably wont come back to visit this.

Overall I would give this game a respectable 9/10. This is a really fun game either by yourself or with friends, but you will find some issues with the hit boxes because of the 2D style. If you are knew to games like this, well then you will have a great time with this. It is challenging but not to challenging. But to rap this up, I really recomend this game.
