This might be the first rogue like I’ve ever played and I think that was an amazing introduction. Even on Normal this didn’t prove too difficult for me to beat.
Although a little gorey and creepy, the game was somehow still pleasant to look at. The art style and sound design create an absolutely perfect atmosphere for the theme. I did like the level design as well, the promise of rewards always gets me to explore more thoroughly.
I really enjoyed the balance of “go smash demons on a crusade” and “take care of my little creatures” when I needed a break from the smashing and rolling. If you are looking for a challenge, however, I do recommend cranking the difficulty up from the get go.
