When you finish all the permanent upgrades at the runic gate and it still takes at minimum 40 minutes just to bum rush the first 3 bosses - only one of which actually poses any challenge (Crucix the Twiceborn) - and get to challenge the final 4th boss, repeated runs become really unfun. Also all the shell shades pale in comparison to the +20 base damage from Eredrim's Anointed Butcher so playing as the other shades for trophies/achievements makes you feel gimped to hell
Main problem boils down to how roguelike games just shouldn't take over an hour for successful runs - at least when every run is extremely samey like in this game and the failpoint is almost always the final boss (which doesn't change either). Makes losing runs very frustrating.
At least the axatana weapon that was added is very fun (but admittedly only because it's overpowered and buggy - the running attack should not be getting 3+ hits nearly every time)
