Finding your flow in the music feels incredible – until you're crushed by some procedurally generated monstrosity for the umpteenth time

Self-defeating

I wanted to like this game, but instead ended up hating it to the core. Because it's a real-time roguelike, it destroys the very thing that makes roguelikes fun. The game's immense complexity is not a source of joy, but rather a bludgeon to punish you and waste hours and hours of your time. Roguelikes reward strategy and thinking ahead; this game rewards being a savant, and nothing else. I wish I could get my money back.

Very catchy music

And it's probably too hard for you.

Huge basic gameplay issues.

Tons of options and solid soundtrack, but enemies will instantly attack you if you interrupt their pathing even though it isn't clearly communicated what tiles they're threatening. The game also seems to arbitrarily ignore your attacks, only for the enemy you've trying to attack to finally kill you after you've wasted several beats on it. If I'm being punished for failing to respect a property of the enemy or tile, that property needs to be communicated to the player, otherwise the death feels cheap.

Absolutely mindblowingly amazing

I mean, if fucking Ninty did a collab with you, you know you struck gold.
