This game is exactly what I want out of a game.
- It wastes no time with unnecessary dialogue/tutorials/find-your-sword-sequences
- It's fast paced from start to finish (though you can steadily upgrade your character to have more time if you prefer a little slower action)
- There are tons of upgrades to unlock, but the game is 100% playable with the starting equipment
- Experimenting with new weapons unlocks upgrades for them, but if you don't like a certain weapon then there's no need to use it
- Situations can be handled in many different ways with varying costs and benefits, so experimenting is highly rewarded to learn new strategies
- Level randomization prevents repetition
- I haven't experienced even a single unfair death. The game balance is really great
- I got this game for <$5
I'm a very pessimistic/critical/negative person, and I would give this game 6/5 stars if I could. Props to the developers.
