As a fan of roguelikes, and this dev team in general, I have to say this game is middling to me. The combat and moment to moment gameplay are solid, don't get me wrong, but there's a real difficulty problem. Seriously, ask people you know if they've ever completed a run, I'd say 80% of players haven't. The crux of the roguelike genre is this; if the game is hard, you'll have to replay it. If you have to replay it, it needs replay value. This game is too hard and simply requires too many attempts for how little replay value you get out of it. It's also so RNG heavy that not all your losses are even your fault. These are both things the team corrected in their subsequent game into the breach.
