    This game fucking obliterates time. Start playing after work and next thing I know it’s 2 AM. Haven’t had this much fun with a game in a long time. Highly recommend, especially at only ten bucks. This game kicks so much ass.

    On Steam Indie stars are born. I can’t imagine how the videogame world would look like without Indies.

    It kept me up way past my bedtime last night.

    With that said, it suffers pretty hard from a problem inherent to the genre. The more you unlock the less fun it becomes. Unlike other survivor games, silver coins are very precious and you can unlock items way faster than you can unlock banishes. Ive also died countless times due to being stunlocked after a first hit. You can get knocked into other enemies with absolutely no way to recover depending on your momentum. Finally, items dont tell you what they do until you unlock them. Can waste silver early.

    With all this said, I don’t regret my purchase. I’m having fun with it and there is still plenty of room for me to git gud.

      FYI: once you have purchased 40 unlocks you can get the “Toggler” which lets you toggle off any of the weapons/times/items you have unlocked so that they don’t drop in a run. It doesn’t let you toggle off the starting items, but it lets you narrow the field drastically if you are aiming for a particular build.

    Babby’s first roguelike I’m afraid. Poop stallion-level humor plus it basically plays itself. Don’t let your friends see this on your recently played…

    When I see games like this I wonder if they will be a supported hit or a fly by night indie trend which will have a sharp decline to and forgotten developer support like what happened to Content Warning and Lethal Company.

    I’m seeing developer support for PEAK, Schedule I and R.E.P.O so the jury is still out on those

    Edit: added schedule I

          I don’t think that I’d tell people it’s only worth a few hours, but I do expect a large portion of those sales to only last for a few hours.

          Some people love the vampire survivors/risk of rain/megabonk game type though, my partner has put around 100 hours into vampire survivors by now. So I expect a core of players to enjoy returning to updates.

            They are good games for those that like a challenge. There’s practically no story or content otherwise. I’m a big fan of brotato as well.

            I like when they also have mobile ports too. Sort of like having real games on my phone. Slay the spire is a fantastic phone game too.
