Early Access Review
Awesome rogue-lite with fast, snappy combat, a variety of weapons that all play pretty differently, and buffs that actually feel meaningful and game-changing, allowing for interesting synergies and potentially OP builds.

Multiplayer is handled fairly well with the decisions around how loot and resources are shared (or not), but multiplayer itself is locked behind finding a NPC in the single-player game first, which I can imagine being annoying to some folks. Plenty of other games do this as something of a forced tutorial, and it only took took about 10 minutes for us to reach that point, so we didn't find it particularly frustrating.

A bit more balancing is probably needed for co-op though, because it did seem much easier playing with a friend than it did solo during the demo: we reached the end of the main EA content in about four hours, over the course of maybe five or six runs. This does unlock a custom difficulty mode, and there's also a lot more content to unlock in the way of weapons, buffs, and other power-ups, but there's not as much incentive to grab those right now (like there is in Hades, for example, whose story drives you to continue playing)

Will definitely come back to this game once it's out of EA and more content has been added!
