This is one of those times that I wish you could give a "mixed" rating instead of a flat do or don't recommend. Ultimately, I do think this is a very good game. But it has some flaws that I believe are worth talking about. In terms of the good, talk about a well written and acted game. Each character is so unique and interesting and it's a joy every chance you get to talk to them. The story is fascinating in a way that compels you to play more just to see more of it.

As for the flaws, the combat feels very stiff. It feels as tough the developers wanted it to be this very fast and flowing action, but it ended up feeling very awkward and "strict' for lack of a better word. Especially in latter areas, enemies just feel like they have too much health. As a rogue-lite, this really drops the ball in the randomization department. The lack of variety in terms of weapons, level designs, and bosses leaves each run feeling repetitive.

I do enjoy this game overall, but I wouldn't put it above other games in the space. The writing and voice acting are pulling a ton of weight to make up for this game's pitfalls.
