Gameplay

Normally more of a casual, the solidity of the gameplay and balance in edition with the rich environments and amped up music has me wanting to keep on pushing further and advance my limits.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
so in conclusion, i'm gonna say yes, i do recommend this game. it seems like it's toward the end of it's early access period, it feels great to play, and it has the build depth that i look for in a roguelike. the multiplayer is solid, and it's great fun to have 3 OP builds firing off at once. but consider this more of a "mixed" review, due to the game's egregious artificial difficulty, especially in the early hours. it feels like there's still more balancing to be done, and i really hope the devs consider a more user friendly healing system, at least for the lowest difficulty.
