Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Despite looking and feeling like a game jam demo cobbled together in 48 hours, it’s a finished experience with a more or less complete story, a random level generator (that glues premade rooms together), several playable characters, (awfully balanced) skill, progression, combat and crafting systems and a teeny-tiny soundtrack.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
If you enjoy hand to hand Dark Souls-y melee combat, loot generative FPS games like Borderlands, or are just looking for a roguelike to consume some of your time, give this game a shot and it could really suck you in.
