Surprisingly good roguelike. Klei is one of those indie devs who really just knocks it out of the park each time, huh? I picked this up back in 2015 or 2016 and shelved it after about an hour, but picking it back up again lately, I am loving the blend of strategy and roguelike elements. The different party members don't bring too much to the table besides some (not always useful) unique equipment, but the different "programs" you begin with can drastically change your playstyle. Mediocre plot, but great mechanics and a nerve-wracking tension throughout.

A playthrough of the main campaign will take 2 or 3 hours, so it's not quite the "pick up and play" style of all the other roguelikes that take 45 minutes for a run. But it's absolutely worth the time and I've been loving rediscovering it.
