Why players love itThings to know

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like how the game procedurally generates the levels as this prevents the game getting stale while you are completing achievements, there is also a massive amount of different weapons and amulets along with perk cards that make no two runs the same.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
109 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
After playing more of the game, there's huge replayability with a ton of characters to unlock by playing the game, with a lot more weapons to unlock too, with it more perks on the way.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game is just a blast, smooth, fast paced, nice enemies, nice graphics, nice upgrade decisions, really optimized running it at 120fps+
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The fact that Ziggurat has uncapped framerates may be seen as a plus, but those playing on Linux with Nvidia drivers may want to look up the framerate cap fix in order to fix the vsync option for Unity games, so that your PC doesn't turn into a space heater while it clocks up hundreds of FPS that you'll never see.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fast-paced and satisfying combat between moments of strategising, with standard hard-as-nails difficulty adjustable both by simple game options and a diverse roster of unlockable character classes to suit your playing style, and a secret on every level (I want more!)?
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A good deal of variety comes from the game's playable characters, game modes, and characters.
