I was a bit sketch on this game as roguelites/likes tend to become very repetitive, but as GOG is currently giving it away for free I decided to give it a go. Unlike another review I did not find the game impossible after 10 hours, rather, I beat the first pyramid on my second run. That's what makes shooter roguelites enjoyable. You don't need to die 100 times to level up your character, you just need to play skillfully. There is some luck involved, but to say skill is the lesser is wrong. I had 3 of my weapons taken by RNG which gave my current weapon infinite ammo, but that only lasts until another weapon drops. Obviously in my first encounter a flare gun drops, so I'm screwed. Then my assault rifle was swapped with a bow. By sheer chance I got my very first rocket launcher in the last room before the final boss. The real problem though? I had a great run and kept picking up scrolls like a greedy cow which resulted in barely clearing it. Worth noting it'd be hard to clear it in 30 minutes unless you had leveled up a ton and were zooming through. I think my second run was a little over an hour. I'd still give this a 3 though, disregarding it currently being free. The gameplay is solid but after only 2 runs I'm unsure if I want to continue on to the second pyramid as it does get rather monotonous. Such is the nature of a roguelite built on sheer gameplay and no story. The humor isn't exactly on-point either, I'm afraid.
