Really fun rougelite FPS to play with friends, though when playing solo some of the issues of this game get laid bare. Scrolls can be a bit boring in how they boost your abilities, mostly just being stat boosts you get outright or if you do something simple. Ascensions are pretty simple too, but their boosts are often large enough to see the difference in cooldown, damage, or your other stats. I've liked playing all of the characters the game offers so far, their unique abilities end up having you play very differently and focus on different weapon types per character. Bosses are OK, most are simple fights where you can learn their attacks, while others have a gimmick to their fights, and one is a DPS CHECK (this alone has killed so many of my runs).

Now that the game is out of Early Access there's so much more to do compared to when I started playing years ago. The new Spiritual Assault gamemode is really fun, and there's more bosses and paths to take. If you are willing to learn common synergies and have a group to play it with. It's very hard the further you get into a run, and it can feel frustrating when you get one-tapped by an attack that just barely clipped you, which is why I say that the game feels less frustrating when played as a group.
