I've been eye-balling this game for a while. It looked pretty, it looked fun, but when I played it... it was bad. There are no classes, you're basically the same person, nothing special. Your appearance is randomized every once in a while, but that's it. You crawl around this tiring dungeon, looking for weapons, hats, potions and magic, but that's not very exciting - and they all feel the same. The combat is SUPER-WEAK for a game that claims to be part beat-em'-up. Want combos? No. Want to dish out a sweet move to clear out the bland enemies? Too bad - no.

The combat is basically pressing and holding down the attack button. Trust me, it's not fun. However, some properties are randomized in the weapons each game, and that's a nice little feature, but it doesn't make up for anything. Here's another problem I have with this game - the floors. They're all the same. Yeah, they're randomized, but no matter HOW RANDOM they are, it's just the same, sodding, mossy walls with a few electric looking cubes that also grow old fast. If it weren't for the text, I wouldn't be able to tell where the hell I was. This game is just grinding. Grind. Grind. Not the fun kind, either.

This game has very little variety. The enemies are generic as all hell, the weapons (except for a few) are also generic, and like I said earlier, the floors are generic, and all of the spells are skulls. However, some items weren't very generic, but that didn't make up for anything. The game also tries to be funny, but it just doesn't work. The sense of humor is awful - god awful. A unicorn ♥♥♥♥ting rainbows... ha ha? Oh... there's a robot... but this is a dungeon! Ha... ha?
I hope you get the point.
Also, I wanna point out that the inventory system is a chore. EVERYTHING is in the same menu, so if you're searching for a heal potion, you might accidentally use a sword, and the enemy just might kill you.

Listen, I know making a game is hard, especially under these conditions. I'm not trying to ♥♥♥♥ all over you and your game, but I just don't like it.

2/10 for the graphics. EDIT - When I said this, I meant that the game only gets a 2 since the graphics are nice.

I was really hoping this game would be good. You can only move and do one type of sword attack, and use items such as apples to refill your health. The level art is always the same no matter what dungeon floor you are on. The game lacks a good inventory system for the tons of items you pick up. Your only way of switching items is cycling through them in a long list.

The little art that appears in the game is fantastic, and the music is great too.

It might be more fun as a co-op game, but you can only play local co-op. I'm not sure who does that on PC. For some reason the pre-release videos of this game made me assume that you had a party of AI heroes, but that is not the case.

Overall, feels a bit half-baked, like an early access title. The game has no back story or lore, it is like an Atari game with pretty graphics. Could be great with some more features such as block and roll commands, real inventory system, and changing dungeon art design every few floors. Needs a save system too. I played for awhile yesterday, came back today and my progress was nowhere to be found.

Edit: After playing the game some more I managed to have a decent run until the game crashed on Level 7. Still not sure I could recommend it yet, but that was the most fun I had with it. Got a badass fire sword and upgraded the hell out of it at the random blacksmith. Also had a magic item that summoned a dark warrior to fight for me. Pretty cool. Realllly needs a quicksave system like Dungeons of Dredmor so you can stop and come back to that point later. I don't have the time to sit down and try to run through all at once.

As good as a rougelite should ever look, interesting lighting effects help break the monotony of these games. Other than that, most of what you'd expect, randomly generated levels, enemies, & Loot. The loot in the game seems a bit sparse, might not entice the most hardcore of rougelite fans. If your looking for a cool indi-game like I was, this one is not bad, worth the sale price. One thing to mention the the fighting system uses a "negative edge" style attack, where your character attacks when you release the button, took me a bit of time to realize, although I improved, I still thought this to be difficult to time the release of button while in the heat of battle. Also, the "streets of rage" perspective is a bit awkward to judge where you are in space but that's whats kinda cool about it too. Overall, It's a good game, great replay value.

8/10

Lacking a save option, I can only recommend this game if you have friends to play it with offline. Otherwise, wait until online multiplayer or saving is included.

If you havn't completed this game then shouldn't be writing a review for this game as alot of the reviews people have written are stating incorrect facts.
"You can only move and do one type of sword attack" wrong you can do charged attacks, shoot guns, bows&arrows, cats with laser beam eyes etc.
"You can only use items such as apples to refill your health" apart from the 30hp and 100hp heal potions ?
"Your appearance is randomized every once in a while" you can change your appearance at any time in the tavern even going back to the beginning to do so. Gear also changes your appearance.
"The combat engine is: attack button." you can move and jump to dodge attacks, cast spells(alot of spells including enchanted weapons shooting skulls from being able to summon allied monsters or every item in the game meaning boxes with apples and snakes inside to powerful weapons and enemy monsters), ranged attacks (rocket launchers, muskets, lasers),

Its a great game and the only downfall of this dungeon crawler is that it isnt online multiplayer.
