This is a fantastic Mega Man meets rogue-lite, except replace Mega Man's lemon dispenser with melee weapons.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
44 of 171 sampled reviews raised it
The voice cast deliver fantastic performances, the characters are likeable, the plot has a few surprises, and the gameplay has just enough there to satisfy someone looking for just a little depth--so long as you don't mind upgrades being far more on the random side.

The framing here really helps the player empathize with characters, and it's amplified by the good voice acting and variety of dialogue choices (and their corresponding responses).

The aesthetic is great and everything from the gameplay to the visuals is highly polished.
