I hate rougelites, and yet this is way better than the first game. The music is fun, the combat isn't braindead like it's predecessor, and it's very clear that the developers are getting much more experienced at this.
The progression is well paced, and there is a solid enemy variety + weapon variety. The bosses are good fun as well. Side quests were decent, but I'd like a better reward than just a hat.
The writing still isn't quite as good as it could be, although it still managed to get a couple of laughs out of me. Also, the pacing kinda falls apart at the end, as you get so much money from very specific items (and not much else).
Overall, I'm actually somewhat excited about what the Turnip Boy devs do next. I couldn't say that about the first game.
