If you play leisurely you can get a lot of hours out of the game, if you spam play and become addicted like myself you may finish all the progression quite quickly.
Co-op

If you're looking for a co-op game to play with your friends with enter the gungeon meets lost castle/castle crashers vibes give this one a shot!

7 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
It doesn't do anything poorly but with how many rogue likes get pumped out weekly, this one doesn't really set itself apart in any way other than it's amazing art and good voice acting... which is in a language I cannot understand haha.
