I'm not a big fan of dice rogueli(t/k)es due to heavy RNG, but this one is very fun thanks to the variety of rules that turn each run into basically new type of game. It's also pretty fair, I've lost only 1 run so far and that's because I completely skipped reading the rules and was doing nonsensical moves at the start of it. The enemy design (and LORE) is great as well, tons of equipments fit the characters, my favorite (and least favorite, love & hate relationship) is mr Annoying Bird, it's indeed damn annoying. The soundtrack is also pleasant to listen too and fitting. My only small complaint would be the achievements - too many "finish 69 episodes" ones while there could be more related to gameplay.
diverse gameplay, easy to understand, hard to master
LOVE this game. Peak puzzle-strategy-roguelike. Your macro-scale strategic decisions matter, and yet each encounter is its own little puzzle, which is just a masterclass in enemy design and balancing. Progression is also done right, as each character has its own "mini-campaign" consisting of various challenge modes that provides actual gameplay differences, not just stat-tweeks. It also avoids the meta-progression trap.
