Heroes of Hammerwatch has unique and compelling progression elements that sets it apart from other roguelites and really sucked me into the experience.
Co-op

76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Certain people are going to love that grind, and I'm sure that it's plenty more fun if you're playing it co-op with some buddies as well.
Characters

49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a rather large roster of playable classes and you are encouraged to play them all, and all are entertaining to play- even the Priest, whose equivalent in most titles would be hellish to play and level solo.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Heroes of Hammerwatch is an interesting title for me to review as I wouldn't recommend the game as fervently to a solo player as I would to someone who'd be able to play the multiplayer with friends.
