I recieved this game trough #indieselect on twitter, The story goes on is a fast pased hack and slash rougelike. Troughout the story, you explore deeper and deeper into the dungeon as you fight stronger and stronger monsters, each level ending in a boss fight. The game provides a lot of fun with a not to rough difficulty curve. It is great at letting you feel powerful but also eases you into it. So from the start, here is my experience. The game starts of by dropping you into a pretty safe training ground, you are taught to walk, attack, open chests, shoot and grapple. Not much here can damage you, so its a safe place to get your grips on how the game handles, all while accompanied by a sometimes hilarious scarecrow. After the tutorial, you are dropped into the easiest map, with the boss being a specific easy boss, meant to teach you mechanics but not be a hassle. As you progress, you'll pick up multiple upgrades, earn gold and buy yourself powerful attacks and boosts to help you grow. You'll feel the difficulty grow paralel with your power, until you start unlocking the really strong attacks, at that point your power fantasy starts and you can decimate enemies in fun and unique ways. The game has a variety of cool attacks and power ups that combined can form some amazing comboes that make you feel super badass. Some of the comboes can even completely break the mechanics of the bosses, rendering some bossfights utterly helpless trough smart tactics. The sound in the game feels amazing, since as you progress and get stronger, the whooshes and clangs of your sword, as well as explosions and fire sounds get amplified as you hit more, faster, harder, Toyota. The music has a nice ambient sound that doesn't distract too much from the gameplay, but hovers nicely in the background, accommodating your killing spree. Some of the mobs have attacks that if unprepeared can be quite scary, but every monster has a tactic to defeating it properly, meaning the more you learn, the easier it is to adapt to situations. Difficulty wise, the game is probably on the easier side of these rougelike games and is therefore quite welcoming to new players in the genre. As an experienced gamer, i could wish for a bit more difficulty option, however, i have NOT finished the entire game yet and as such can't speak for all the difficulties throughout the game. Overall, the game is a lot of fun to play and can easily have you lost for hours as you blast trough enemy wave after enemy wave, diving through the layers of the dungeon.
