Short review: This game plays like if someone went back in time and tried to explain what a roguelite is to an N64 developer, but the dev didn't understand the concept.
Long review: It's not a roguelite. Putting characters behind an unlock wall to make it impossible to progress without going through the same boring setup again isn't a good mechanic, and doesn't make it a roguelite.
Making there be only 3 upgrade slots but one has to be offensive, one's defensive, and one's general would be fine, IF there's a mechanic for us to know which one's which. As-is, it's not a good mechanic.
Spawning elite enemies that can one-shot you before you even know they're there - even if you've put all your points in defense - isn't a good mechanic. That just makes it so there's only one viable build: offense.
I kept playing this hoping it'd get more fun, and it didn't. It's incredibly easy if you have all characters unlocked, and incredibly annoying if you have no characters unlocked.
