Fun solo, funnier with friends. The devs are super active and have a clear vision for the game they want. Easy to pick up and deeply rewarding to master. Also Kavin is the best

Literally one of the best games you can get for the price range, and dont worry if you become op cause you can always start becoming the enemy by chasing your friends down with hundreds of projectiles. 11/10

This game doesn't get the spirit of the genre. It's lazy, uninspired, and so repetitive I can't even bring myself to beat the game again on harder difficulties because there is no reward for doing so. BAD

Eh, it's not a "good game". Just an example; enemies are not visible under the spells (anime style graphics - sh!tload of unnecessary huge animations). So, you die and don't even know what hit you! And the randomness of spells/skills, i.e. the fact that I can't choose the spell I want but only one of the "presented" options, completely ruins the whole fun. So many cool spells, but I can only choose one of 3 bad ones :/ (bad ones = doesn't fit my strategy) I should be able to choose one of ALL available spells. It's frustrating and painful when I play for over an hour with spells/skills that I don't like at all :/ [Let me choose one of ALL spells/skills and I'll buy a supporter pack. Force me to choose a crap I don't like and I'll give you a negative review]. In addition, many spells are epilepsy inducing :/ <- what a fakap :/ [I have to play this game with minimum screen brightness and sunglasses.] This game have plenty of issues :( Waaay too many annoyances :(

Game is balanced around multiplayer, playing Singleplayer on hard is nigh impossible without amazing RNG, even with full upgrades acquired.

Super fun game 8/10 so far only needs is more maps more bosses maybe text chat or mic and i know the game is still in developed but with these added it would be a perfect game you can easy play 4-6 hours without noticing it super recommended it

It's a fun game, but the lobby wait times are horrible. It really needs more players because it's balanced around multiplayer and single player is often more frustrating then fun. If you actually get a full four person lobby it's incredible but sadly that almost never seems to happen, but even two people can be a great experience... once you get done waiting ten years for another person to join you. This is another game that needs an 'in the middle' rating.

Absolutely a fantastic, well-crafted game. The last game this polished and pure was Sky Force. Great attention to detail and fun. Like an auto-shooter or walking tower defense multiplayer. Well worth the 1 Hour : $1 fun ratio, at minimum.

This is a fun roguelike game. I've played solo and with friends and haven't had too many issues with it at all. To quickly sum up what my pros/cons are without typing out a huge paragraph: [b]TL;DR[/b] Get it, it isn't bad. It just needs a lot of fixes and polishing in COOP play. [h3]Pros[/h3] [list] [*] [b]Easy to understand[/b] [*] [b]Casual playable[/b] [*] [b]Not a bullet-hell game.[/b] [*] [b]Endless Mode[/b] [*] [b]Different difficulties[/b] [*] [b]Plenty to unlock[/b] [*] [b]Overall satisfying when you have a good build going[/b] [/list] [h2]Cons[/h2] [list] [h3]COOP CONS[/h3] [*] [b]COOP is VERY BUGGY.[/b] [*] [b]No in-game chat or a pause in coop.[/b] [*] [b]Co-op play, the host is ALWAYS favored. Meaning, there's A LOT of desync for other players.[/b] [*] [b]In Co-op endless, enemy damage doesn't scale properly on harder difficulties. Scaling seems so random. Also, Objectives like Soul Sludge is HUGE for only 2 players. It doesn't scale properly.[/b] [*] [b]Because of the scaling in Co-op, you're basically forced to go damage and cooldown reduction.[/b] [h3]OTHER CONS[/h3] [*] [b]Cannot reroll new spell choices.[/b] [*] [b][spoiler]The only good map is Meadows. The other maps hinder survival.[/spoiler][/b] [*] [b]Can easily get stuck on the rocks. Needs better friction.[/b] [*] [b]High dodge feels useless.[/b] [*] [b]Characters you unlock have a base spell that you can obtain in-game at random. IMO, characters need unique spells to THEM only. It makes unlocking new characters quite redundant.[/b] [/list] [h1]What I'd like to see in the future[/h1] [list] [*] [b]Rerolling of new spell choices and other potential missing rerolls.[/b] [*] [b]Coop polishing.[/b] [*] [b]Being able to ban specific cards from showing up ever again. There's so many spell upgrade cards that survivability tanks further into the game because of the lacking health or other related survival cards.[/b] [*] [b]More enemy types and bosses.[/b] [*] [b]More upgrades, spells, etc.[/b] [*] [b]Unique character spells.[/b] [/list] I still recommend but it does need some work.

I hate this game but I love it. Its got everything that you want but its almost impossible to find a room and play. If only there was a single player with bots option or something. and more spell options, world options. etc. Its a good game but its tiny for what it is...
