What players think
The recurring themes across 236 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
After a boss fight you get the option to 'bank' your available XP which will then be used to upgrade your next runs by leveling up, which increases your base stats for all future characters, or you take some of it into the game to e.g. purchase a better starter weapon, some armour or buff yourself a bit.
The graphics use cute pixel art which serves the game well, though they belie the game's true nature.
A neat mechanic is that whenever passive pickups cause some effect, a small icon (same as the one in your inventory) appears above your head to tell you that it has just done... something. 6hrs in, I start to make meaningful decissions about what upgrade to take, but I'm far away to go for a specific build.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 5 sampled reviews and are not shown.
