“Great fun with some really great mechanics, and the developer is active in the community and willing to take on feedback.”
“Excellent gameplay loop with map design that makes sense.”
“The gameplay feels like mowing down hordes of enemies, which, combined with the pixel-art visuals, delivers an oddly satisfying experience.”
“One problem is that there's no way to create a set of desirable builds in a roguelike game while lacking game mechanics such as selectable rewards or exchangeable equipment.”
“There are plenty of other issues that are gameplay related, such as the random loot not having strength correlating to rarity/level, or the weird inclusion of a hunger mechanic (just why?) which doesn't mesh well at all with the rest of the game.”
“Most of these are issues with the gameplay that should have honestly been in from the get-go.”
