A fantastic, rogue-lite, horde-slayer similar in the vein of Vampire Survivors, with it's own genre; "Survivor-like"

For those unfamiliar with the genre, the basic concept is to kill Mongolian hordes of monsters and demons, level up to get upgrades to your stats, weapons and abilities, and then survive as long as possible until you die or beat the final boss. Once your character dies, the run ends and get gold based on how much you picked up and your performance. Said gold can then be used to upgrade your stats for the next run and purchase items/potions you've acquired in the halls. Slowly, but steadily, you'll get stronger, unlock new classes and abilities, and make runs more chaotic and fun.

Now onto the review:

Absolute banger of a video game; has a great dark fantasy aesthetic with a simple yet pleasing set of visuals. Streamlined progression system based on acquiring items, potions and gold in your runs, which you can then use for future runs. Each class has it's own weapon and set of traits that let you personalize your play-style each time you enter the battlefield. Combat is very simple but also very satisfying when you take out 30 enemies in a single swing when you started out taking out one enemy in five hits. It's also incredibly intense the further you make it in the run, ESPECIALLY near the end.

A good variety of classes, play-styles and items is fantastic for an early access game; especially one that's released not so long ago. Beyond the content, the game feels rigid without many, if any technical issues. Haven't had any game breaking issues nor crashes so far in the 12 hours of play. The only complaint I've had is that the game can take a hit on performance once you dealing damage to 100's of enemies at once, but that only happens for me near the end.

Overall, fantastic game for a fantastic price that'll easily leave you hooked and satisfied. If you're at all a fan of Vampire Survivors, Diablo or PoE, I'm sure you'll fit right it. If not, this is a good entry to start your delve into the genre. I have good faith that they'll do right by this game and give us a grand experience once they've finished the game.
