It's not a terrible game, it's fairly okay but there are some baffling design decisions from somebody that reviews videos games for the last 2 decades it kinda feels like he should've known better.
Makinbg you spend perk points to unlock the harder challenges so you're weaker than before and also having very limited perk points means |'ll have to wipe my progress to do the other half of the challenges to have a decent chance.
It's also a game that seems to expect and want you to fail until you level up a few times so you get the perk points.
Other than that, if you can get past the graphics which if you grew up in the Flash era you'll probably not have a problem with that and if you like rogue-likes and Lovecraft you'll probably enjoy it. For a little while at least.
