It's a classic. Solid game design, although it's a little on the simple side. A nice improvement from the games that inspired it. I do wish there were a few alternate weapons for each class, since you mostly use the exact same attack the entire campaign. And enemy behavior is a bit shallow, could have used some more interesting enemy types to spice things up. But overall a pretty fun game, especially in co-op. It's on the easier side, but it has a brutal mechanic where your lives are limited for the whole campaign. Some classes are way better than others, so that's something to take into consideration. (Wizard is OP, Paladin is very hard) Definitely worth getting if you like fast paced shooters and arcade style action. The 2nd campaign is great but there are moments of too much back-tracking in empty areas. And yeah, there's 2 campaigns, each one will take you nearly 10 hours to beat, so there's plenty of content. If you're pretty good at these types of games, I'd say start on Hard mode, since the Medium difficulty is quite a bit too easy. Enemies rarely kill me, but watch out for those nasty traps, they're often 1-hit kills. 8/10 for a 2d twin-stick shooter.

I came for the hack, stayed for the slash. A very good dungeon-crawler.

It's not the friendliest, I myself haven't beaten it, but if you find a class that's right for you(in my case it's the Paladin,) then congrats! You have a class to carry you as far as you stay sharp!

Really fun game that is super simple, at least at first glance. It's somewhat rare to find a game that is actually challenging and engaging, but this game is both. I have immensely enjoyed playing solo or with a friend. Well worth the money! Amateur tip: Changing the key binds from only keyboard to mouse AND keyboard is a game changer. Enjoy!

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!
