“i mean, this is not a groundbreaking game by any means - you go in, you shoot or hit enemies, you get items (typically as a 'choose one of three' kind of deal), you eventually die or end your run, and repeat. it's…”
“amazing game, worth all the money for the dlc and main game. the devs are super nice and helpful, and the community is amazing. the gameplay is super fun and feels repetetive in a very good way. 10/10 would recommend,…”
“Fun to play, but don't start it if you are a completionist. There are achievements for getting "Omni suits" for each character. What they dont tell you is you have to pay 50 of those orbs per suit and it has nothing to…”

“Great game — I really liked the character design and their abilities. The progression system and resource management feel satisfying. I also enjoyed the map design — very beautiful and atmospheric. I’d especially like…”
“This is an excellent coop multiplayer game. The characters are all balanced and work well together, and then it's the sorting out how to get your damage high while staying alive. A genuine fun game to play.”

“Paid dlc? ARE YOU JOKING?? The base game is so small. and very repetitive. I was hoping for new content or new modes... this game is so small and so little to do I figured surely there would be updates. Paid dlc? ♥♥♥♥…”
“No progression system, just unlocking items, so you have to repeat and hope to get better items, without a permanent progression system is not worth it.”
“Announced that they are finished with the game, even if it still has fundamental problems. It's very good on the surface but becomes old real fast, and does nothing to differentiate itself from other roguelites. If you…”

“I'll be honest, it started out well enough at first. I get Roguelites have a curve to get items that let you finish runs. My gripe is I have more items unlocked, I have a decent understanding of how to build the class I…”

“Fun Hades + Risk Of Rain game about destroying Chaos and finding what was stolen from the Gatekeepers, a heart that keeps balance. It doesnt have much content after your first win but i'd still say to buy it just for the aesthethic, this is a roguelike that actually respects…”

— a player, Steam review · 96 hrs played“This game is a worse, top down Risk of Rain. It's fun for maybe 10 hours, just because you can try all the characters and rack your brain on how to make unique, fun, and good builds before realizing there aren't really any meaningful choices in the game because of balance issues…”
