9/10, Best roguelike I've ever playedI'm going to be honest right from the start; one of the main reasons I purchased this game is because of this right here.
Ever wanted to be dyslexic? Now you can!Seriously though, this game can be casual (General dungeon crawling, looting, etc) or hardcore (Each boss has a more powerful "remixed" form), and it is just fun to play. There is just so much for me to say about this game and I don't know where to start. The combat, the upgrades, the classes, the traits, the death (so much death), it all just comes together in a legendary game. Pros:+++ Replayabiltiy. This game has a lot of it. +++ Classes and traits that actually do stuff. Are you tired of upgrades and skills that just add % modifiers and generic bonuses? The trait system in this game actually affects gameplay in a meaningful way, whether its vertigo flipping the screen upside-down, or runes that let you fly. They also threw in generic bonuses. But ya' know.++ Satisfying kills. When you hit or kill an enemy, it'll just feel plain good. ++ Remix bosses. Its like playing dark souls, if the bosses in dark souls were optional, on a 2d platformer, and had weaker forms (The actual bosses). If you're not looking for a hardcore, half-impossible experience, you can just ignore them altogether and its still an awesome game.++ Procedurally generated. Randomness is the spice of life.+ Nice music. Always good to have.+ No penalty for death. If you're like me and have biophobia (the fear of life), then you'll be golden.Cons--- The controls. Default controls for keyboard are simply terrible. There's just no way to sugarcoat it. I spent the better part of my first hour playing constantly readjusting them. BUT. But there is an option of using a controller, and many people (I haven't used one) say that it is a lot better. Don't worry too much if you don't have a controller, a keyboard worked well for me.I'm not going to tell you that everybody should buy this game. If you don't like roguelikes or if you have a burning hatred of platformers, then this game isn't for you. It can be played casually or not, so it covers most people on that front. Its a hack 'n slash at heart, featuring dungeon crawling and lucrative chests. It has "fairy chests" which require you to complete a specific goal before they can be opened, and they contain a rune which can be applied to give your character special powers and buffs. I just realized I didn't even talk about one of the core mechanics, children. When you die, your current hero will be gone forever, but thankfully 3 of his children will be nominated to take his place. You can pick any one of them to wander off into the castle and risk their lives for treasure (Sorry, but it turns out momma did pick favorites!). These 3 children are of a random class, granted you've unlocked that class, and have 0-2 random traits. Each class differs in stats, and each has a unique "special" ability that can avoid damage, clear a room, etc. Traits will affect gameplay in various ways. Some are very helpful, others can be harmful, and some can be good in some situations, while terrible in others. I would keep rambling about how great this game is, but if you've made it this far in the review, then you're obviously interested in the game and should just buy it already. You know you want to.
