This is a very solid game for what it is but unfortunately suffers from a lack of variety or content.
Having said that, as you can probably tell, I still recommend this game.
The artstyle and characters are charming and unique, and the worldbuilding is fun and engaging. The items that do exist are good and help to shake the game up a little bit. The progression feels nice, and the pacing is good. Everything about this game is solid.
If you're hoping to have a game you can keep playing over and over for hours and never get bored, though, this unfortunately is not it. It lacks the it factor that a game like Binding of Isaac has. The variety is just a little to constrained, the enemies just a little to predictable. If I could completely change weapons, there were more kinds of hooks, anything like this would have gone a long way towards replayability. And enemies only have one kind of elite, kind of like the Jammed in Enter The Gungeon. If there were more kinds of enemies to give you some variety and break up the monotony that also would have helped.
Overall, it's a very good game, but I would treat it more like a story game than a true roguelike. Which is unfortunate, because i followed this game since early development.

Some of the most painful RNG Achievements ive ever done in any video game and thats saying something
The rest however was fun as hell
final campaign was a bit lazy but other then that, the game was very engaging and incredibly fun to learn
the gameplay is fluid, animation is beautiful, the Character design is immaculate, the lore while a bit lackluster was very fun to read and the builds you can create are amazing
a hidden gem this one
8.5/10 would recommend to anyone whos looking for a good challenge and a fun time
if you want to go for 100% your gonna have to work for it

Fantastic game with retro feeling. Absolutely recommended for short runs from a coach into a big screen or directly from the Steamdeck.

This review is written in Euskara. We have asked Steam to add our language to the review system many times but they haven't done it yet. I am sorry if we the Basque people "invade" the English review pool but we don't have many other options right now. It is much more difficult for us to find reviews in our language because we can't filter them by language. We hope this situation finds a solution soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Here you can find a deeper review I wrote about the game (it is written in euskara) / Jokoari buruz egindako analisi sakonagoa hemen:
- Roguelite nahiko berezia.
- Estetika koloretsu eta alaia.
- Kontrol ereduak erronka suposatzen du baina interesgarria da.
- Bideojoko zaila izan daiteke hainbeste jokalarirentzat.
