It's a (almost shamelessly so) Hades inspired roguelike. The gameplay is top notch, with loads of metaprogression, good combat and overall game feel. Boss fights are the particular standout with each one being super unique and fun to learn. What is less good as everything dealing with the writing/story of the game. It tries to do the Hades thing with worldbuilding and storytelling that evolves on each run, but the characters aren't compelling enough, the writing isn't sharp enough and the voice acting ranges from "ok" to not great. That said, I enjoyed my time with the game wholeheartedly. I ended up seeing the credits roll and beating the true final boss after about 11 hours, but I'll probably continue playing it on and off.
