Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Very fun and challenging roguelike platformer with gameplay I'd say is something like Vagante + Spelunky but IMO has some major flaws later in that make it less enjoyable than it could be, here are some thoughts:
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Years ago, my friend had installed his copy of Caveblazers (CB), so the two of us could try out the local coop.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Nothing too crazy to say about the visuals, the minimal retro pixel art style you see often.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The audio is appropriately chunky i.e. sword slashes, explosions, and spell effects have satisfying sound design.

The community on discord is also nice and able to connect you to other players to play with online
