An Approachable Story-Driven RougeLite
If that title sounds appealing to you, then you will enjoy this game. I got it and beat it last year and I would say it was one of the best games to come out last year. As far as the gameplay loop, it's a hack-n-slash ARPG with a map generation and item pool similar to your Binding of Issacs and FTLs. Your skills and abilities depend on what character you pick and as you progress through the story and levels, you unlock new classes, skills, items, and upgrades at a reasonable pace. Comparing it to your other RougeLites it's the most approachable as it's honestly pretty forgiving as you can't really get screwed over by RNG in a run due to a bad map or lack of endgame items. I would say what makes or breaks a run is what skills you're character has unlocked and those are permenantly unlocked for the rest of the game. However, this doesn't mean you can faceroll the controls and win. Each character/class makes use of different playstyle and there are skills that they can unlock that benefits ALL of your classes. Skills like making you invincible to extra damage to elites. Thus the game is more akin to an RPG with a skill-based albiet gentle learning curve. The narrative is the main selling point as it revolves around a family of bad-ass adventures trying to hold the line against the wrath of a jelous entity. The music, narration and art direction give this game a nice sense of impending doom and escalation as the corruption slowly starts to spread around the home base every time you return. The only criticisms I have are replay value and the end-game grind. Before I finished the final boss, to leveling up all my classes to get their said ablities I wound up running the highest level possible over and over again to grind experience. Also I found the game quite easy in the end and had exhausted every single cutscene the game had to offer. And then once I beat the final boss... that was it. You're done. But those are just nitpicks to an overall solid core.
