Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
143 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Once you unlock multiple evolutions, and especially with the new 'Contrarian' gene (which drastically increases the likelihood of lesser-picked evolutions, which brings a ton of replayability to the scene because you'll have to improvise by making builds you've likely never tried before!), the game becomes a lot more fun to keep playing.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So, if you're into cute pixel art style roguelikes (cause yes, it IS a roguelike, every run is a completely fresh start stat-wise), go ahead and give it a try!
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
At least in my opnion it is a tad bit more clunky than it should be, this is the only negative point I have, this game would be so good to play with the Steam Deck otherwise.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is endearing, the sound design is both practical and a delight on the ears, and this game just really has the nebulous "juice" that so many games lack, and it pushes this one into a "must play" category to me.
