I played this initially during early access and it was pretty bad back then and it still hasn't improved enough to recommend it. The combat is not fun, all you do is walk up to an enemy attack him twice rinse and repeat. No enemy ever poses a threat, in fact I hardly ever got hit that includes the bosses. I died twice before farming deaths for the achievement, once because a death is scripted and once because I used a character without a normal dash for the final battle. Pretty much none of the power-ups matter, I don't really know what half of them do, Some crash your game (blackhole gun), some slightly increase your damage but most do nothing that is relevant to the gameplay. The fact that you can loop after a win and keep some of your items doesn't really make sense, the game is already too easy. It is a shame that the gameplay is so bad because the general idea of having a book with missing pages that you can fill in over time is a really cool setting for a game. These story dungeons are the best part of the game however ironically that is the only part of the game you cannot repeat.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

No difficulty at all, beat the game on my first try and quit after experiencing some kind of looping mechanic? Everything is effortless, items are boring and not needed because it's so easy Chests spawn constantly, I couldn't open one for the first 3 floors so I thought they were some weird design choice to show you've beaten the room... turns out you need keys to drop to open them, they just are very rare for some reason Play any other roguelike

Was alot of fun
Not recommended Apr 20, 2022
Only played for 13 minutes and wound up uninstalling. Keyboard controls are annoying requiring mouse aiming in a stationary camera angle over a 2D room. Game is definitely meant for a controller, but I found out quickly I can't remap the buttons! It's the most confusing, awkward button set up for my hands that I've ever seen, and pretty much makes the game unplayable for me. Would've pursued a refund, except I got this as a freebie game from a reward site. Definitely not worth paying for in my opinion, and probably wasn't worth the reward points I put towards it either.
