This game is a pain in the ass. Between the dodge that never seems to do enough, the ludicrously repetitive combat, and the rooms that spawn 30 enemies and melt your healthbar in the one second it takes you to react. Also all bosses have two stages, that's two full health bars, with zero recovery before entering. The balance is non-existent, and as far as levelling goes, I may start grinding now as the drops are awful. Avoid it and go play Dead Cells if you want a decent roguelike experience.

getting back to grouvee and cleaning up my collections. limited review.

I launched into this and expected to play for a little bit and move along after the fun was gone. I was right and I was wrong. It was fun, but it lasted a lot longer than expected.

I put far more time into this title than expected and it was a nice dynamic rougelite platformer.

Very much enjoyed my time here.
