TLDR; I had this in my Wishlist forever. Finally bought it, and glad I did. It is a repetitive game; one you are supposed to just get better and better at the more you play. If you're into that, then you'll like it. There is also randomness to it; so in one game you might feel nearly invincible, and another you just want to die. If you're into that, then you'll like it. Finally, if you manage to make it to hard mode, you'll get owned, and owned, and owned. If you like to overcome that sort of thing, then you'll like it. Expect to play this game a lot if you want to concur it.

The game is fire, highly recommend. Below are some essential tips for enjoying yourself more as a more casual player. For my purposes, casual = if you often ask yourself "what the fuck am I doing", if not casual then ignore. 0. If any strategy from here or elsewhere is ruining your fun with the game, just don't do it. You enjoying the game is the most important thing, fuck everything else. 1. *Most important*: At the beginning of the run, pick Brutality (Red, melee), Tactics (Purple, ranged), or Survival (Green, shields & utility) as your main skill. - Whenever you get an upgrade scroll, pick only this color (unless the game does not give you the option). - Use a weapon of this color too. - Do NOT spread your points evenly. - Reason for this: by the time you have 15 points, your damage is increased by more than 200%. (The 15% per level stacks.) If you spread the points evenly you get a lot of health but hit like wet noodle. Jack of all trades is a master of none, in this game anyway. 2. "Custom mode" is amazing, unlock it an use it. - The mode lets you choose which items appear in the run. - For example, if I don't like the "Balanced Blade" very much, I can just disable it for next run, and only other items will appear. You can disable more items and re-enable them before every run. - You unlock it by finishing the 1st and 2nd stages, then go to Ramparts, then kill a special elite zombie there . - There is no penalty for this as long as you keep at least 20 items. If you have less than 20, you can't get achievements but all other progress is saved. 3. Ignore the timer completely and fully clear every level. Kill all enemies, get all cells, get all gold, at least take a look at every (free) item. - Don't be fooled by the "2:00" door at the first level, and similar doors. There are no scrolls behind it, they are way more important than the loot you get from the door. The "30 kills without damage" door is reasonable to shoot for, though. - You are much stronger and hit much harder for the entire run if you are full clearing. This isn't Risk of Rain, difficulty is the same on the final boss and every level in between whether you are 10 minutes into the run or over an hour. - You can save and quit in the middle of a run, come back any time, and pick up exactly where you left off. The game autosaves your exact location/progress frequently. You can literally play for 5 mins, and save and quit, and come back standing in the same place. ok, bye!
