Playing this online co-op was an complete and utter revelation. Yes, it's a rogue-like, and yes, you can get screwed by the RNG, but I'll gladly die on this hill. The more you come to understand the game, the more it reveals itself to you. Once you're in deep enough to have experienced some minor success, you'll realize it's got its hooks all the way in. The story is incredible. The gameplay is SO polished. The co-op implementation isn't perfect (the game wasn't initially designed with co-op in mind, after all) but once you've figured out how to iron out the kinks, you're in for a great time. The game doesn't totally start you over from the beginning every time, there IS progress to be made. It's a blast.
