I had fun with this for a bit but I'm shelving it for now! For an indie game from 2016, its art and visuals hold up super well and it has a very fun and quirky sense of humour without being overbearing and a bit embarrassing like a lot of indie games. I actually think the core gameplay just leaves a bit to be desired? I'm not sure that dodge-rolling with I-frames really works in a 2D perspective, it feels a bit awkward to me. (Though I think the table-flipping mechanic is pretty cool.)

I also think it's a bit too cryptic for me, I really don't like consulting walkthroughs if I can help it but there's so many NPCs I've rescued who I've just never seen again (or maybe don't know how to find) and I don't get what the deal with the crypts are and the game makes no attempts explain wtf the "Prime Primer" is as far as I can see and so on.

I'm shelving it for now bc it's just gotten a bit repetitive (and Ammo-Conda can absolutely go and fucking do one) but I might come back later and update this if I do because it is fun! I've gotten as far as The Forge so far, and I wanna push through and see what more is in the game, but I'm not sure I can push through the tedium of Acts 2-4 again. That's a roguelike for ya
