very funny and well designed. lots of pop culture references and interesting lore!1 found this helpful
I usually stay away from roguelites, maybe they're too gimmicky and don't hold my interest, or maybe they ask too much of your time for meta progression, or maybe they're too action heavy for me. I prefer traditional roguelikes that reward deep knowledge of the game. Anyway I saw Angory Tom's video on this and I could tell there is something special about this one. It's great fun. Good humor, lots of secrets to find, progression isn't a slog, easy to learn, but challenging in the right ways. I really like the weapon variety and their different play styles and learning all of them. I like how each run only has access to a few categories of 'builds' so that unlocking more stuff doesn't cause any problems with finding the items you want. I hope a lot more builds and weapons and areas get added in the future, I see myself coming back to this one a lot.
Excellent
好玩
