This gets a definite Recommend from me. If I only got to say one thing, it'd be "give this a try." especially if you like Isometrics, Roguelikes, ARPGs or *Risk of Rain.* I was surprised to see it not overwhelmingly positive so lets touch on that. "Runs take hours"- a player with 0.5 hours of playtime. No, No they don't. You can loop infinitely though if you choose. "you can't save"- this is a roguelike. Your overall progress is automatically saved, and each run you start will be different and from scratch...just like every other roguelike. Now to the obvious: Isometric Risk of Rain. Which is a GREAT thing. Yes there are differences but if that is ALL you have to go on, that is a huge win. Gameplay is smooth, all the characters are viable and can become extremely powerful, unlocking everything was a blast. Difficulty: This seems to have people divided. There is a difficulty selector for a reason...Though I would say after unlocking everything, learning the mechanics and good builds, they could add something more challenging. Lastly: This is in early access! The current state is vastly different then the videos I watched to check it out 8 months ago. It will continue to develop, get content and get polished. I'm very excited to see where it goes.

Its a really fun fast paced twin stick roguelike, although I enjoyed it more before the Oct 2024 patch. The difficulty now is insane, even on easy. As a software engineer myself, I understand how much hard work it is to create software so Im not going to bash the devs, but please rebalance it in future patches to cater to an array of different gamers and gamer skills, not all like to play at insanely hard difficulties. ALso backtracking to grab items is not fun especially if you're trying to do speedruns. Overall I recommend it, but please rework the balancing issues pre Oct 2024 patch

This game has been one of the best purchases I have made in a while. I got it for the 4 player coop and haven't regretted it. The developers are responsive to Bugs and feedback while also developing the game to their designed plan. The art work and characters are all unique with different play styles. The game has 2 game modes arena and normal. Arena, you fight through waves of enemies on a single life. Normal mode you fight through the 4 different planets in hope o escaping or continuing onto harder waves. The amount of time you can progress through the planets is near infinite. I recommend this game if you enjoy rogue-likes.

Amazing game. Had a lot of fun with friends playing it. We played the normal mode where you travel from planet to planet where every enviroment is different and Arena mode where you are in the same Arena and have to defeat wave after wave of enemies. We are hardcore roguelike players so on our first run Arena we unlocked like almost 10 achievements already. We tested the limits (caps) of items and stats. So we realized there is a CDR cap (cooldown reduction) its at 40% max CDR, but thats understandable since a lot of roguelikes dont even over CDR stats as reward when leveling up and the other cap we found is stacks for your right click ability, you can have max 3 of that, wich i dont understand, at the end its the players choice if he wants to break the game at a 2 hour run, since its a roguelike that decision to cap the stacks for right click skill was questionable. So far all the other caps we encountered where just minor, like the items wich add an extra 5% chance per item stack but the dmg stays same, so its understandable when it reaches 100% the game says NO YOU CANT STACK ANYMORE IT IS 100%.....so far the game is in my eyes too restrictive and that takes the fun out of it. My suggestion is to totally remove the item caps, at the end its the players choice what items he wants to stack and wich items not. If i want 30 right click stacks, gimme that since its fun to spam right click, if i want 1000 hp/s gimme that, since its fun to stay afk and see enemies doing less dmg than your regen. Instead of balancing items and stacks, you should balance the enemies. All I can say is, great game but there is a risk of rain....
