I don't do reviews often, I also don't often play roguelites. I used to hate them and never touched them. Tried this game on ps4 and hated it(100% skill issue). Didn't touch it for years, came back on my PC and gave it another shot after sort of getting into roguelite style games(Only a few of them though). I can genuinely say that this is the best roguelite I have ever played and one of the absolute most unforgiving ones(Couple of my friends that play the ♥♥♥♥ out of roguelites agree here) But with how unforgiving it is, it is also so incredibly rewarding. I had an absolute blast on my way to 100%ing the achievement list, between the gunfights, mob variety and technique required for each one, to the graphics and the interesting story that always kept you guessing for the next step/clue to what is going on lol. This game gets an 11/10 from me, someone that wrote it off at first and ended up falling in love with it.

Most helpful reviews, 26 September to 2 October
Steam’s top-ranked review for and against the game in these 7 days, in English. Votes as they stood when this map was made.
Core gameplay is good. Roguelike elements are half-baked and were obviously implemented to cover for a lack of content.
