“This game is fun, that all that matters when it comes down to it... I bought it on sale and the game is long 87 hours in and I still haven't 100% it. The game is all about the replayability and its great!”

“Progression is much too slow for me. It's too often that I need 40+ of an item and several floors in a row don't spawn any of that item.”
“Like, it's fine, and i'll probably play a little more. But especially solo, it can just be grating. There is a ridiculous amount of grind to even fathom beating the game. It's not something like hades or other…”

“I've gotten to like NG 7+ several years ago, and now I'm playing it again. Why is it still fun? How?? Progression (on both town and character) and randomized loot always engages you, and the "team guild buff" encourages you to try out different classes. Such a timeless…”

— a player, Steam review · 66 hrs played“While game is fun, the problem is the gameplay loop. You are constantly supposed to farm the same 2 materials over all levels of the game.
