    pretty cool but..

    Pretty cool game but sometimes you are hit so HARD and ends si abrutly.. + nice graphics and atmosphere + not bad audio and sometimes voices in cutscenes (memories) + quite interesting and complex mechanics + monsters are cool but: - monsters are not too defined visually.. a snake does not look like a snake.. - sometimes.. you DIE so unexpected.. - needs more level variation.

    Very buggy

    During gameplay, the game becomes unplayable, forcing you to abandon your previous progress. Fatal in roguelite games.

    Running fine ...

    Thx GOG.com for the giveaway. After reading about some peoples problems here, I first have to say: The game is running fine on both machines here (Ryzen 5 3600 with RTX2060 Super and Celeron N4100 notebook). I had no crashes and no performance issues, even on my lower end machine. The game itself is quite good, I think. It's not the genre I normaly tend to, but I'm having good fun with it. Its surprising relaxing for a game where you fight hordes of demons :-D

    fun until gamebreaking bugs appeared

    I like the aesthetic and VA, the gameplay was OK, but after 4 or so relaxing hours sort of playing it in the background, I ran into a gamebreaking bug ("sign of the snake" never ended, so every run constantly sapped my max health). Apparently this has been a known bug for a year or so, and hasn't been fixed on any platform. Disappointing, because otherwise I mostly enjoyed the game. The other criticisms about "you die too suddenly" / "too RNG heavy" / "too opaque" are also valid, both on their own merit and compared to other roguelites, but they weren't dealbreakers. Unaddressed gamebreaking bugs are. Too bad because otherwise, I enjoyed it. At least I got it from the giveaway so I didn't lose money, but I probably won't buy from this dev.

    Frequently crashing and unmaintained

    The game has really interesting graphics, engaging fights, uses Unity (but a quite old version for its release date) and is available for all three platforms - but it is really unstable in a form, that I lost interest to play it. See details in my forum post "Iris and the Giant - first impressions including severe technical problems".
