I got this after I heard it could be played with a controller, but sadly it doesn't seem to support logitech controllers (or possibly any non-xbox ones in general). I'm extremely disappointed in this, how can anyone make a game that only excepts one kind of controller? I state this first since I didn't find out till after I'd made the purchase since no one had said this before hand. That aside, the game play is essentially Asteroids with extreme graphics, maps and RPG elements. The story that I've seen so far is pretty funny and each mission has bonus objectives you can challenge yourself to complete for extra rewards. There is a lot of customization and personal choice in ships and weapon load outs that you can make which also makes it very nice in that aspect. I'd give this game 5 stars if playing with a mouse and keyboard wasn't so tedious and they had worked in support for controllers outside of just one one kind. This is actually the only time I've ever wanted to ask for a refund from GoG. Still, the game is simply too good to mark below three despite my disappointment.
This game is addicting in its gameplay if you enjoy fast paced 2d dungeon exploring adventure. That really sums it up, very fast and random pace building up your characters using gold you get from different runs through randomly generated castles. Having played it a lot, I've noticed many room types are re used and I've started to memorize their basic setup, but despite my initial concern of this making the game get boring and redundant, I have a blast each time. They really did a great job in keeping the castle lay out fresh each run and they made enough rooms and tasks for variation that keeps you engaged. I managed to beat it after 12 hours of play and 120 character deaths. The plot twist before the final boss was great and really gave me a sense of the whole story and situation being worthwhile when I got to it. As the credits rolled I thought it was unfortunate that I wouldn't be able to enjoy the game anymore since now it would be an endless grind against weak monsters, until I noticed it was now marked as "New Game +". Yep, after beating it the monsters, and dangers, of the castle get upgraded, along with the cash rewards, and some final weapons and armor can be gained in the castle after the first play through. So it still has me completely hooked. This game is best played with a game pad I'd say. I tried using a keyboard and it was very hard with how fast paced the game is.
