It's sorta like Destiny 1, the base level gameplay, the fundamentals, are really solid.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
23 of 66 sampled reviews raised it
Cryptical Path is an action roguelite developed by Old Skull Games and published by Old Skull Games together with Game Seer that combines dungeon crawling, strategic planning, and fast-paced combat into a formula that feels both recognizable and refreshingly different.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
5 of 66 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, balance of items needs work, the game looks and plays great, difficulty isn't too hard, it's harder than most roguelike games at the start of a run (even with upgrades), and if the devs are going to continue to tweak and update the game, I would love to see what they plan on doing.
