I've been playing this game obsessively for a couple months now, and still can't get enough of it

I've been playing this game obsessively for a couple months now, and still can't get enough of it. Learning the patterns of all the enemies is one of the most satisfying things I've ever done in any game. When you start out, you're just fumbling around, faceplanting into enemies and getting torn apart. If you practice enough, though, you'll be able to take on any situation without suffering so much as a scratch. Every part of the game is very doable with the default equipment, so you're never just screwed because the right items didn't drop for you. The weapons and spells that you can find all work differently and cause you to change your method of attack, but they're all pretty balanced. There are a ton of different weapons types with their own unique advantages and drawbacks, rather than traditional "tiers" of weapons (1 damage, 2 damage, 3 damage, etc.) And there's an instant replay feature upon death, where you can look and see what you could have done differently to save yourself (there's always SOMETHING). This is quite possibly the most well-balanced game I've ever played, and I adore it. Pick this game up right now if you can. Edit: If you have any doubts, just look at how many hours I've logged on it ;) Edited again, after launch day: Early access is over! The game is complete and it's AMAZING. I cannot believe how much better the game has gotten with time! The final area and extra bosses have been added, and they really went all-out with the monster designs for the last zone. And suddenly there are two entire new soundtracks to choose from? Yes, please! I cannot tell you how happy I am with how the final product came out. I still play this all the time :)

I found this game back in 2015 because FamilyJules did a metal soundtrack for it. Over 8 years, 3,000 hours, lots of speedrunning and racing later, and I think this game is pretty okay! Cadence is cute

Hard as balls, fantastic music, great gameplay, and a great premise in the story

Hard as balls, fantastic music, great gameplay, and a great premise in the story. It also has the side benefit of being completely unique, nothing else like it out there at the moment. A game I keep cursing at, rage quiting, and yet keep coming back to. Truly rewarding, as the game gets better as you get better. Can't recommend it enough.
