Very punishing but equally rewarding and enjoyable roguelike which does an excellent job at staying interesting throughout every run. DLC's aren't needed to enjoy the game, but they add lots of new and unique content while staying cheap. The combat is perfect with incredibly smooth gameplay, movement and tons of variety in weapons, items, builds. The music is amazing as well. Overall great game a must buy for any fans of the genre.

That game is obviously an absolute banger. I mean the reviews speak for themselves. I am not leaving this review to compliment how great it feels to play, or it's awesome soundtrack, I am posting this to point out that the minimal requirements are not very accurate, I am running this game on a potato pc at a solid 60 fps, I really don't see why the requirements say " Intel i5+"

Without a doubt the best Roguelike in existence. Extra special for the amount of references it has that are very dear to me. I absolutely love everything about this game and I hope everyone gets to experience it at least once in my life. It may be a 100 percenters absolute worst nightmare but I will still get everything and completely 100 percent this game regardless no matter how long it takes.
