Don't get me wrong, this game isn't bad, but it pales compared to something like Hades. The story is relatively shallow. The saving grace here is that the gameplay is actually rather good, and it has quite refined the rouge-lite experience with quality of life features and secret room hints that make your runs feel much more like you're in control.

The only downside I have with gameplay is that for certain enemies there are sound cues to hint when to parry or dodge, but they feel too little too late. Half the time I feel like I'm being led by a false cue and just getting pounded into the dirt by the same non-unique enemy's normal attacks. It can be very irritating.
