Immortal Redneck is not the flashiest roguelike, but it is a mostly solid experience. Movement feels fluid and weapon choices are varied enough to keep your runs fresh. The meta-progression system is helpful, though the amount of gold needed to unlock everything can feel a bit steep.
My experience with the game was dying repeatedly in runs until everything started to click. Not sure if it was a better understanding of the game itself or if I reached a critical threshold with upgrades, but deaths became extremely rare after that point. I wouldn't write home about Immortal Redneck, but I wouldn't write it off, either.
100%: Completing pyramids with no weapons or scrolls can prove difficult until you have enough upgrades from meta-progression. The Plague Medallion will take the most practice and attempts to overcome.
