Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this game in it's current state. It has come out of Early Access a few months ago, but still has some glaring bugs and incomplete features. It also seems the developers have abandoned the game, lots of unanswered threads in the forum, including the bug report I submitted two months ago.

It can be a fun game in theory, but there's just too many bugs. Rooms that fail to unlock after you defeat all the enemies, thus trapping you inside and obliging you to return to menu and restart the level. Enemies whose health falls to zero and then goes negative, drawing a health bar extending backward out of their health-bar-box which only grows as you inflict more damage, rendering them unkillable and again obliging you to restart the level. Achievements with bugged conditions (failing to register 8 lasers having been candle-dodged vs. Mosh; failing to register 20 turrets destroyed vs. the hydra boss [destroyed 25 just to make sure, but no achievement]; failing to register winning the game as Pan toward the win-game-x-times achievement; ...). Cannot recommend.

This game looks amazing, but its downfall is the horrible controls. With keyboard, you use WASD to move. The problem with this is, I had to press both W and D to move in a straight line. And that only worked sometimes. With a controller, it is even worse! I had to set my own controls, which I thought was a bit odd. I tried both the stick and the D-pad on my Xbox controller. To move from left to right, I had to press up, right, down, right, down, right, down. This got me across the opening area. Then I had to press up, left, down, left, up, down to get to the door. And the action button to open the door never worked at all. I definitely had more fun with keyboard (both because I actually made some progress and because, since it had been on my wishlist for so long, I willed myself to find some pleasure in it). The graphics are quite nice, but that is the only redeeming quality. The onscreen dialogue between the two playable characters (you have to unlock one I think; only one could be chosen from the menu) is painfully cheesy, the nonsense you would expect from siblings on a Disney show. The game itself had some oddities. I am not sure why I was collecting purple balls of light; th…

The game has bugs on the Mac OS X version. When you die, a screen pops up with no options to click on. It's blank. I had to force quit the game and lost all progress. Sadly it's not ready for OS X user's. It could be the Steam client also. My PS4 controller didn't work either. The game it's self seems okay, but a little slow for an Action RPG Twin Stick shooter type of game. I need more time with it to really review it, but in it's current state, I can't play it and progress. Oh well... This is just a warning for OS X user's. I'd report the error, but I am tired of reporting OS X errors which seems to be many here on Steam these days. I never have this issue with Mac Game Store, App Store or GOG games. They all work fine with Mac OS X. Even games I have on Steam that don't work, work when purchased them again from those other sites. Not sure about Steam anymore... I have a lot of games that used to work here on Steam that don't work anymore due to Steam updates. EDIT: I read the forums and this is a KNOWN bug!!! Windows user's are having the same problem. Fix it please!!! Hardware Overview: Model Name: MacBookPro 11,5 (Mid 2015) Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Pro…

might be good later...right now, it's not. :( i am willing to change my review once they implement more weapons, magic/attacks, and better targeting...

A decent roguelike.
