This is a solid roguelite in a similar vein as Dead Cells or Rogue Legacy with a cool sense of style and a morbid sense of humor. It is really for people who are into platforming and 2d combat with hard-hitting bosses. And the workplace drama is great. The game itself is fun to play. You start each run from the beginning each time, like a rougelite. And while you can choose the level path you take, it is always the same choices in the same order to change floors each time. While that may seem limiting it does lend itself to making builds, as you know which bosses you will be facing and in which order. The builds have a lot of room to explore in them. There are a wide variety of items to unlock in terms of basic scythes, spells, and cool-down "cloak" abilities. In addition to that, there are three skill trees to build through each run focused on offense, defense, and spells. All of these things are given to you randomly as you proceed through certain checkpoints in a run, so it stays fresh. Though the randomness can make it hard to pre-plan a build. Fair warning, I am writing this review after getting the "Finish the Game" achievement. According to steam about 3% of players actually get that. I can sort of see why. Initially the game goes through the Modern Warfare department. But after finishing that once there are a coupe of new areas. And then after finishing that there is a new secret boss that you have to take a few in-run penalties to reach, and finish the normal game to access. It seems easy for folks to not know that there is more game. All together this took me 20 hours according to the in-game clock. My only real gripe with the game is that a full run takes 45 minutes to an hour. Trying to learn the later bosses can take a fair amount of time just to reach them to check them out again, and bosses are the main difficulty spike in the game. Dead Cells solved this problem with a practice mode to fight the bosses with and this game would benefit from something like that.

A great 2D platformer with outstanding humour. Especially if you have ever worked in an office! Mechanically solid, it has been improved a lot since release with new mechanics and options, additional difficulty settings, progression mechanics and departments (game levels). If the genre is even remotely up your alley, I definitely recommend trying this game.

Prob in the 7/10 category. Graphics/style are top notch, and the game play can be a lot of fun. That being said it can be a bit frustrating and the rogue like nature can make it more repetitive than I like, especially with limited progress in-between.
