Old school dungeon crawler with DnD based classes, some progression in form of vendor upgrades, lots of enemies to kill with plenty of secrets and easter eggs to find along the way. Main campaign takes you through the floors of a castle Hammerwatch where you must climb to the top to claim treasure. Gets a bit repetitive as there`s not much to do besides kill, find color coded single use keys and progress to next floor until you beat it. Expansion does add some much needed mechanic addition in forms of really easy puzzles, but at least it makes pacing better when it has those and not yet another combat arena. There`s workshop support with A LOT of player made maps and a lot of replayability in terms of high score chase or simply playing with every class or even in COOP. Highly recommend!

Pretty fun. The graphics and music are good enough. The gameplay is pretty simple. You kill enemies, collect loot and powerups, spend your money in various shops for stronger abilities, fight the area boss, repeat a few times. Both campaigns are pretty long. The game makes it really obvious that you should be playing this with friends, but if you've played any 2D shooter before, then you won't have a problem playing solo. Not even on hard. You should probably buy it when it's on sale, it's more than worth a couple euros.

fun top down action rpg dungeon crawler kind of like the old Gauntlet games from the 80s. Beautiful Pixel graphics and fair challenge. Levels are fairly long but there are lots of checkpoints. The wooden plank thing is a little unforgiving but still a great simple game. Worth the price.

I give them credit for having co-op online mode (although I couldn't get it working). I couldn't quite get into the gameplay loop, which seemed slow and grind-heavy at the start. The game seemed like it really needed a Save + Quit feature and a Resume. I know there were checkpoints, but it all seemed a bit clunky. 3/5

Basically Gauntlet. The default controls are retarded, but with a bit of fannying about you can set up a good twinstick controller config, & there are lots of handy controller options allowing you to set up buttons for strafing, autofire, press to prevent movement etc. Gives you a reason not to hold down the fire button by having attacks slow movement speed. Pixel art is nice enough, music is mid. Steam workshop support is very basic, just custom campaigns to play through, but it's still nice to have, & should add a few more hours of fun to the game after you beat the vanilla campaign. No signs of woke BS or politics, just fun arcadey goodness. The lack of Steam Cloud support is annoying (you will lose your save files if you uninstall the game).
