a delightful treat in the buffet of rougelikes, but it loses its flavor too soon.
I like Caveblazers a fair bit. It plays a bit like a dungeon crawling Smash Bros., which is enough of a novelty to sink a few hours into. And there's probably so much to it that i completely missed. But this game is so relentlessly difficult that being able to see it all basically comes down to a theoretical dice roll (you have a good amount of health going into a boss fight, you have a good weapon to fight the boss, the boss is one of the easier ones). And sometimes that dice roll doesn't happen for a good 10 minutes. A run could be dead before you know it.
I've beaten Caveblazers a handful of times but i don't know if i've ever gotten the True Ending or anything. and sadly, I don't feel like it.
I recommend Caveblazers, but don't get too attached.
