I randomly bought this on release and finished it then (albeit one of the bad endings) but put it on the backburner to see how the game would mature with future patches. I was pleasantly surprised to see it had quite a bit in the ensuing three months or so. At launch, it had some questionable design decisions that were at odds with what one would expect from a metroidvania such as pitfalls that resulted in game over, attacks that overcommitted as you couldn't cancel the animation, and a bizarre decision to force backtracking in the endgame while permanently blocking certain routes. Thankfully, much of this has been addressed and the game feels quite at home in the genre now. There are still minor quibbles with character balancing, boss balancing, and so on but the devs seem committed enough that I'm certain the end product will be something they can be proud of and something that'll be quite fun for anyone picking this up. I figure I'll be back for more in the future between wrapping up achievements or simply finishing the game with the other two characters I hadn't used yet.

Scratches that D2 itch.

Reminiscent of a Master System game. Not much in the way of replayability but enough value for the price.
