There are secret upgrades to unlock, eggs that you can acquire that hatch around you with various skills to protect you, varying badies in Vertically ascending/descending dungeonesque rooms with engaging attacks and larger than life bosses at the end of these stages.
   
   You can adventure as much as you want in each level trying to increase wisdom and damage levels, hearts, shields, guns, etc, and each boss is different. Because it's a roguelite, you will die, but there is a skill tree that can be leveled up to add abilities or potential upgrades after your demise. Once you get through 5 stages, another set of stages open up as the game becomes more challenging and compelling.
   
   I have not had one boring moment and could play this for hours, and while I have read comparisons to the Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon (both games I like for different reasons), I would say this is definitely a different experience. I have a ton of games, but have played little else since it was released, and I'm super picky about my games. I pray it gets a physical release.… Expand

   This game wears its Binding of Isaac inspiration on its sleeve, and that's A-okay. I've put a lot of hours into it, and it's an absolute blast when you're fighting the odds and manage to score that one lucky item that turns your terrible build into something amazing. The progression system is also pretty nice, because even if everything went horribly there's still a chance you made progress towards a new room or character.
   
   The big downside is the bugs. It's actually pretty bad. I would say there's a game-breaking bug... maybe 1 every 4 or 5 games? The entire screen just goes black, with the game still running in the background, with no way to bring it back. Massive framerate drops during weird times. Crashes when you enter a boss portal. Crashed when you enter a room. Crashes when you just finished your game and it saves your progress. Speaking of which, the lack of saves is also a real bummer. Sometimes I just want to put a run aside for later and pop over into another game for a quick second, but you can't. And this wouldn't be an issue but some of these runs are looooong. If you're being thorough and careful it could be an hour of gameplay just gone.
   
   The design... oh man... everything is so close to being great, but always missing by a hair. I've written and rewritten my checklist of issues and complaints so many times, but it's just too long... The gameplay elements are like taking a bite of what you thought was a perfect pumpkin pie, only to find out it's sweet potato pie, they left out have the sugar on accident, and the crust was made with saltines instead of graham crackers. It's... edible. And you see what they were trying to do. But those bites are still really disappointing when you weren't ready for them.… Expand

   Its a hybrid of multiple games of the same genre, mostly enter the gungeon and dead cells except this is poorly executed, there is no dodgeIts a hybrid of multiple games of the same genre, mostly enter the gungeon and dead cells except this is poorly executed, there is no dodge mechanic you can only jump around and more often then not you'll find yourself stuck in a corner due to limited mobility, I laughed when I came across the first boss which is 2 balls, if you kill one the other gets stronger, this boss is ripped straight out of enter the gungeon.
   
   Tldr, just buy enter the gungeon… Expand

   1) character randomly disappear at some point during the game. Items also disapear in shop and others rooms, got black screen randomly when i enter in a room
   
   2) After re-download and wipe all saved datas, now my game crash at the end of the 2nd boss (when i die or when i kill him).
   So i can't go further than the 2nd boss
   
   3) Some weapons that throw grenade, randomly explode at my face, especially when i fire down. (it is not because of eggs or pets or anything else).
   
   4) A huge down of FPS during some bosses and when too much element is on the screen.
   
   5) I wanted to submit this bug report on their website, but it also didn't work, got some error.
   
   Don't buy this game now, wait fixes !… Expand
