Summun Aeterna (SA) hits all the best qualities of Roguelikes: cool and meaningful/reliable global progression to power up your character (The Dark Lord!), dynamic gameplay, meaningful customization, gorgeous art style, fun music, and the good type of grind that feels fun and not like a hassle or time waster.

I liked the graphics, animations, sound effects, but disliked the music, too intrusive, so I turned it off completely after an hour or so.

It could be an optimization issue on my part or with the game itself.
