This is a very fun and aesthetically pleasing game to 100%. It has a lot of variation in the weapons and builds; there is also a lot to unlock. The achievements are fun and challenging and the progression is satisfying. Combat is also fun, very thrilling when you get a good build. 10/10.

Just got a 100% completion on the game with all achievements. Its a great game. I had bought it cuz i had an itch for a roguelike and I loved the presentation. Marvin Wizard nailed the aesthetics on this one, be it from the textures or the actual old school menus or Drums-N-Bass ost(can find all of it on spotify btw). Putting aside the art direction, the game play is also very fun. It is very low cortisol but still…

84% Chance to dodge... Gets hit 25 times back to back, *blocked* one damage instance somewhere (blocking was at 4% chance)... The game is cool, but uh... I'll have to wait for some more dodge...
