Runers offers a truly enjoyable experience, with a good marriage of standard roguelike mechanics expanded by the real-time top-down shooter gameplay dynamic and by the spell crafting system. It offers enough variety to keep things fresh, but not enough to make it truly stand out from the ever-increasing crowd of roguelikes out there. The combat is pretty spammy, and your progression is conditioned by luck and requires a lot of repetition. The rune combining system is a really nice feature, enabling you to mix and match your favorite effects to get spells custom-tailored to your preferred play style, and this experimentation is probably the most fun activity in the whole game.
