Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's almost nonsensical to review the replayability of one of the most-played roguelikes of all time, but I would like to highlight one of my favorite features that I wish more roguelikes would emulate: the in-game win streak tally.
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are multiple (11 in Rebirth, more added in the DLCs) characters to choose from.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and sound design are solid and very polished, and one thing I haven't seen a lot of people talking about is how good the 'body horror' aspect of the game is.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Whether you’re chasing unlocks, aiming for high-difficulty runs, or just enjoying the chaos of unpredictable item synergies, Rebirth delivers an experience that is unmatched in the genre.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Not to mention this started out as a passion project on flash and now it has a rework (rebirth) 3 DLCs that cost the same as the base game and a free DLC that give multiplayer, item reworks, and character buffs, and honestly I could go on and on but you should definitely buy the base game and all the DLCs because this game is my definition of perfection.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The pixel art is beautifully detailed, the soundtrack is hauntingly memorable, and every element of the game leans into its twisted, surreal identity in a way few games dare to.
