It works great but it does take a while to load the game when I 1st start. Minor complaint given how much I love this thing but I was curious if anyone else had this problem. Also, before I bother reading the manual, do those other blacked out characters unlock?

I also experience an annoying delay when starting. About 14 seconds if starting the game after my PC was shut down.

Yes, I believe the other characters unlock. I have not gotten any unlocked yet though...
So far I have managed to unlock the Major, which in itself is a MAJOR boon because he's got the machine gun, 6 hearts, AND a damage upgrade right off the bat. He kicks some major butt on the bosses especially the ones that like to fly off and spam trash mobs.

You unlock characters by going into these doors that look they're a bit rotten and in shambles, look for some black spots in the wood. You'll also notice a sign written in red that states "Danger. Don't go in here". Inside you'll find a cage with a locked character. Use a bomb to free him from his cage and in your next playthrough he'll be selectable.

I am unsure about the other characters because I have gone as far as level 90, encountered a few of those prison rooms and each one has already had a broken cage but no one inside the room. I am not sure about the spawn rate or what is used to ensure that the other characters spawn.

Yeah, same for me. Takes very long to load. It looks like the game is frozen and I task killed it many times before I accidentally waited and it eventually loaded. Very strange.

Just bought it through the weekend sale and am enjoying it very much. Doesn't seem like many people have bought it based on the little activity on the subforum.
