Pro Tons and tons of loot, which not only comes in handy but allows for a good bit of customization

Cons
Con Can be complicated to understand
Many areas of the game can be complicated to understand what they are, which can be not only intimidating in learning but also frustrating.
Con Not much enemy variety
There are only four models for enemies in the game, which is pretty low for a roguelike dungeon crawler game. Sadly that means there is not much variety in this area which can become boring after extended play sessions.
