It took me 15 hours to win my first match and yet after every single loss I was compelled, as the best roguelikes do, to immediately try again and again. The strategy seems so simple at first but the depth here is quite incredible and offers plenty of variety and challenge to hold attention for hours on end. I'm so impressed by this game and it comes at a perfect time, as the AAA game industry is in crisis due to their ballooning budgets and unsustainable investor expectations, reminding us that graphics and bells and whistles matter far less than addictive, tightly designed gameplay.
