Addictive and satisfying gameplay loop with smooth mechanics, challenging boss fights, and strategic roguelite progression including weapon synergies and character variety.

The game's optimization struggles during intense moments, particularly when many enemies are on screen, causing noticeable performance drops even on high-end systems. Addressing these issues would significantly improve the experience.
- “There are some pronounced performance issues when it 'gets busy,' and this has nothing to do with your computer (I'm on an i7-8700k/32GB/4070ti); you can easily see this in horde mode past, say, 10 minutes in.”
- “Hopefully, the performance issues when there are tons of enemies on the screen are addressed.”
