visuals and abilities are cool, but lack of engaging or exciting music make this super boring. Played 1 run and was over it.

This is really fun game. The abilities are cool and you also progress as you play learning new types, get new areas, and you can make your guy stronger. This would be a great game with friends. Although not sure what thats like, have not had friends to play games with in years, especially no name random steam games. None the less, solid game and a lot of fun.

I recommend giving this game a shot, the gameplay is addicting as most rougelites i know it would be a blast with friends To be fair the game lacks individual survivability making the loop feel incredibly frustrating if you get hit because you don't have many options to stay in the fight

Beautiful game, great music, and addicting gameplay. I always go back for just one more round to see if I can get further.
