Early Access Review
Yeah, its true, this is essentially a turn-based version of Nuclear Throne. But wait, before you dismiss it, understand that it is really well done, and definately has earned its place in competing with NT. While I love Nuclear Throne, this title may actually get more of my time because IMhumbleO anytime you add turn-based mechanics, things get better.

I said I would only boot it up to check it out, but four hours flew by - that rarely happens to me. Dissertation work was put on hold for this mother******.

Pros:
+Butter smooth gameplay with either a mouse/keyboard or from the couch with a controller. You can play as fast or slow as you want.
+Artwork is pretty great
+Utterly addictive one-more-run kind of coffee-break game here.
+Unlockables such as a bestiary and new playable characters that have different stats (not just skins).
+Daily runs.
+Learning curve is not as steep as many other roguelikes.
+No cheap deaths.

Cons:
-Probaby best in 1-2 hour play sessions maximum (like any coffee break game).

Totally worth full price IMO. I will get a lot of mileage out of this, plus there is more to come a la Early Access.
