It's a "small game" in the sense that you have three worlds and one final boss but it's has huge replayability because of the different modes, modifiers, characters and starting modifiers.
Combat

There also appears to be a Heat/Ascension-type difficulty climb, too, which is something I always appreciate in a roguelite.
