I'd had my eye on Path of Achra since it launched a few months back and I'm glad to have finally given it a shot. It's a traditional roguelike much in the vein of Rift Wizard -- tons of synergistic options, quick runs, and small floor sizes with a preview of your reward when choosing the next floor. You choose a culture, class, and religion at the start of the run, each of which contributes substantially to your build, and there is a large skill tree available to everyone. This allows for a huge amount of customization -- It's an excellent game for just playing around with new builds and seeing what you can get to work.
I was able to get a victory on my second run with a summoning focused build, but it took me several tries to learn the game well enough to win with a melee build. I'd say the difficulty is on the lower end for the genre, but you can still easily die in a single turn against tough enemies if you aren't careful or haven't thought your build through well enough.
An easy recommend if you're at all interested.
