Runs well on modern hardware.

Even though I was disappointed to discover this was a rouge-like game and not more a linear storyline, it has remained a highly enjoyable and addictive experience for me that is excellent for passing some time and testing my skills. Every time i open this game and start a dive I find myself swept into the gameplay loop once more. I just wish there was more focus on characters and narrative elements because the lore of this world seems so deep, but we never get much further than a surface level view of a lot of things i feel ... It's not that there isnt a lot here becuase there is, just expect a more subtext type narrative rather than something elaborate like deltarune or something, some lore elements that add depth seem to be in the form of little easter eggs. This is my standing on the game after beating normal mode and hard mode. There is still a lot of content left though. This game does have an ENORMOUSSSS amount of replayability. So if you're interested still based on this review, I'd highly recommend buying it and supporting the devs!
Excellent gamefeel, a few different interesting weapons, and a bunch of different enemies that make the game look varied. But the upgrades are really unexciting (+5% damage! 25% ammo reload!), and the game isn't challenging enough to make progress exciting. It's pretty weird (and a shame!) seeing a game that's got such good feel, but really bland overall structure; and that really wastes the roguelike aspect.
Simply fantastic experience. If you love Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon or any Touhou games, you will love the way it combines all of those things.
