great game

TL;DR: The game offers a fun time but you will quickly find out what works and what doesn't, then simply be able to autopilot for most of the experience afterwards. Character gimmicks are samey and don't give incentive to play any differently than other character choices besides maybe favoring a different colored status effect or DoT. The game doesn't often require 100% brain power so it's a nice little thing to throw on while you and your friends are shootin the ♥♥♥♥ on call. It's a very comfortable game. I'm not entirely sure that I mean that as wholly positive if I'm being honest; but the main point I'm trying to get at is that once the mechanics *click* for you (which probably won't take very long), you can guarantee a victory in almost every run. This isn't to say that the game is no fun, but it does become largely unchallenging the more time you invest. Characters come with innate effects of various levels of usefulness. These effects range from woefully useless to a monstrous powerhouse, with some room for customization of each character with a couple different craftable weapons they have (albeit in most cases there is a clear best option).

This game is a 10/10 roguelike! I was thoroughly impressed!

Flow state game. This one grew on me - UI is clunky as hell and brutal to navigate with a controller, and the sound mixing is kinda terrible, resulting in muddy audio with really quiet sound effects. Gameplay also seemed bare bones and repetitive for the first 6-7 hours. But I picked it up again recently and it really opened up. Putting points into character skill trees creates new and unique attacks for each of them that changes how they play, and unlocking runes adds more specialized build options. The characters are fun and their unique voices add a nice dimension to them. The regular levels are still kinda mindless, but the game has a great sense of movement and flow, and in spite of the murky audio the music has some bangers in it. This has become my go-to "play for an hour before bed" game, and it's just right for low-engagement movement and fun to unwind at the end of the day.
