I don’t think it’s bad trait, but I have to warn you that it’s a roguelite after all, so all who like hoard resources are going to be disappointed as there’s really no easy mode :) Despite the lack of content in Early Access version on launch and some inconveniences, the main gameplay loop is really well-done and I had fun playing for about ~9 hours at the current point.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

On behalf of my complaints, I still recommend this game, because it's complex, it works, it's hard, it's challenging and it's definately unforgiving, which makes you crawl back for another attempt gone in failure, but you like it!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Having a lot of fun with this one, and want to post right off the bat that I am running a Windows 7 64 bit machine with an i7 3.2 Gig processor and a Geforce 960M (driver version 388.71 or in Device Mngr., 23.21.13.8871) with no stuttering or graphics issues of any kind.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 57 sampled reviews raised it
Don’t get me wrong, the weapons are in fact quite powerful, it’s just your first weapon, wand, which you are going to use most of the time, does not give impression of power.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
