Pros
Pro Good pacing
For the most part it is known when you will be surrounded by enemies (when stepping on a rune, which is needed to progress) which allows the player to prepare. Enemies throughout the rest are scattered giving time to react, but the deeper on gets into the game the more difficult it will become, but does happen at a pace that the player feels prepared for it.
Pro Adjustable screen shake
While playing the screen will shake and judder around, making for a visceral experience and for those uncomfortable with the shaking there is an option to even turn it down in the settings
Pro Procedurally generated levels
While always a staple of any roguelike not all roguelites use procedurally generated levels, but this one does, which gives the advantage of a new experience every time the game is played.
Cons
Con Enemies can spawn right next to you and one hit kill
This issue can be infuriating due to how random it is, an enemy can spawn right next to your character and one hit kill them, depending on how far you have gotten in the game this can be quite annoying.
Con Classes are unbalanced
This may change in the future as this is an Early Access game, which mean things will change and get updated. Currently though the ranged classes have an easier time in the game making for unbalanced gameplay depending on what class is chosen.
Con Early Access
The game is in Early Access, which means it is still in development and will most likely have missing features as well as bugs.
