Well designed art and music, poorly balanced gameplay roguelite with no form of permanent progression to tackle increasing difficulties other than "unlockables" like Risk of Rain 2. Getting two-shot by enemies in the very first zone because you only had a flimsy dash with no i-frames and a long cool down is not fun. Melee somehow has less damage than ranged characters on average despite being at greater risk of damage. Many abilities tailored for co-op are completely worthless in solo, and sometimes even duo. Enemies feel like damage sponges while killing you swiftly, even when you invest in health and armor or shields/stuns etc. Investments in damage will give you 2-5% increases which matters very little when the 2nd zone has enemies with 25-75% more health. You are also on a time limit. You don't have time to kite around or take your time with enemies while you manage your often-long cooldowns. Cooldowns can be mitigated by getting the right dropped items, but that often doesn't guarantee success. Unlocking items takes forever and multiple playthroughs just to have *options* on a *single* character. Progression is lackluster and does not help you on future runs in a direct way whatsoever (as you aren't even guaranteed to get the new unlocks). Hard to give this a proper rating on a scale when there's a lot to like as well, but so much that is frustrating with the core gameplay. It might be an alright pick if you have several friends to regularly play and fail with until you "figure it out", but I'd recommend against playing this for the average solo or duo gamer(s). It's got a steeper learning curve than soulslikes and roguelikes I've played in general (and I've played quite a few of each). If you play several games or have a life, probably best to give this one a pass, as it's not going to respect your time. If you do give this a go, bosses are not timed like the exploration period before them, so take as long as you need to carefully defeat the chapter bosses.

你是说那个设计师n1难度打了15分钟还没打过的人才拿脚做了个游戏，我真见过哪个肉鸽游戏boss能一招秒900血的玩家的

Super awesome game :)

Played 1 session, very fun! Music is amazing. Brings back nostalgia of beloved stories

This game has a lot of great stuff going for it and leaves a great first impression. Theres a good deal of characters, and they all play very different and some are very unique and original in their playstyle. Also each level has tons of stuff to do, between varied different types of upgrades, treats, quests, optional bosses, The game is pretty tough but is relatively fair. I think the game is likely much better played in co-op, as solo it suffers from too many enemies all attacking at once, and because you have a single dodge without iframes you will get hit a lot. Of course ranged enemies are way better, and some of the heroes are just much worse like puppet master and the vampire. The use of timer has pros and cons, it forces you try and be selective about what areas you go, and youll be lucky to explore over 1/2 of each area. For me I like to explore every nook and cranny at my own pace so honestly I found it more of a hindrance. The biggest problem is the content after you beat the game. Theres only 3 acts and nothing more to unlock. You unlock higher difficulties but they literally prove 0 incentive because they just give you less lives and XP, with 0 benefit so theres no point. Also you fight the same enemies on the same maps and the same exact 3 bosses in the same order. Sure the layout of the map and the stuff on there is mixed up, but after 6-8 hours you've already seen all of it. I just tried out each character once and moved on. Unlocking more acts or new bosses could make it worth revisiting. Even leveling up guys just unlocks a few traits which can provide some damage buffs to abilities but won't really change your play. It's not like you really you need to do much of build crafting since as you level you will find a lot of the same traits and by level 10 you will have picked like 75% of them anyways. I think the game is decent but it does get repetitive and the only driving force forward is to see how the different classes play. 8/10.

Интересный рогалик, с необычной концепцией
