This is a great rougelike, and would be a 5/5 if not for the overland walking speed. The death mechanic is harsh but keeps you on edge, not dissimilar to other rougelikes, but the game is severely limited by travel speed. I understand half the fun is being jumped by a bear in the woods, or by a group of bandits, but a travel system like Caves of Qud (with an overland map you move about on, and a chance of getting lost or ambushed) would really, REALLY improve this game. I don't actually think people are annoyed by the death mechanic itself, but by how painful the overland walking is - backtracking is the real agony, especially after a death. Excited to see what this becomes; but don't go in expecting to love every minute with this game right now.
