Pros
Pro Rewarding gameplay the more you die
The more you die in Tales of the Adventure Company the more advantage you have and the better chance you have at finally finishing a level.
Pro Assortment of usable heroes
There is an assortment of usable heroes in game that each have their own traits allowing for the player to build teams customized to their playstyle or needed task.
Pro Unique geometry
HyperRogue takes place in the hyperbolic plane. The grid of hexagons and heptagons and the straight lines which seem to be parallel diverge and never cross and many more unique and unusual geometric shapes.
Pro Easy to get into
A bit like in chess, the basic mechanics are based purely on movement, so no keys to learn. There are no stats, and most creatures are killed with a single hit -- the same is true for the player, but like in Chess, moves which would immediately lead to being killed are forbidden, so the game is over only when you are checkmated. Advanced parts of the game world include lands based on more complex mechanics, and magical orbs which give temporary special powers.
Pro Many different areas
Many areas based on various themes (R'Lyeh, Desert, Overgrown Forest, Living Cave, Palace, Carribean, etc.)
Pro Turn-based roguelike or local coop roguelite
Can be played both as a turn-based roguelike, and as a roguelite with smooth time. Local coop is available in the roguelite mode.
Cons
Con Repetition of the same levels caused by many loses may aggravate players
The game is difficult and you will die a lot which means that there will be a lot of repetition of playing certain levels.
Con Strange visual choices
One of the selling points of the game is also one of its biggest weaknesses. For some, it's simply headache inducing to look at.
