This is a permadaeth roguelike-you have this much time to beat it or fail and start over-kind of game.

I despise just about everything about this genre, but what this game allows you to do is turn off all that bs.

You can play it like that for sure, but I chose the mode that lets you save when you want and you're able to retry if you die. And I put it on easy to boot, cuz I know how cheap and ridiculous these games can be.

And to my pleasant surprise, I actually enjoyed it...you know,...when everything that this game set out to be is removed. But that's fine, cuz it welcomes new players like me.

On easy it was, well, actually pretty easy. I died once, but a restart and change of tactics was more than enough to keep going.

There is a multitude of areas to explore, and your job is to try to find as much loot and beat a boss before running out of stamina, or "food."

You can only explore 5 areas, each with varying difficulties, with the higher ones yielding more rewards. The goal is to get your renown higher than the final boss. I didn't even realize there was a time limit, and still managed to do it by doing the lowest ranked areas 4 times, and one of the highest difficulty. So easy is definitely a more casual, yet fun experience, particularly for someone who doesn't like the genre and only owns it cuz it came in a bundle.

I had fun and would actually do another run if I didn't have over 2000 other games to play.

Enjoyed quite a bit. It is similar to curious expeditions, more forgiving and still engaging.

Could use more variety, but I'd probably consider buying a sequel or inexpensive DLC. Very casual, easy. Combat, eh, its ok. Not great, not terrible. Just not great. Randomness and unlocks are fun though
