Maybe I needed to dive in more and unlock more permanent upgrades, but I didn't like how a Curse could totally ruin a build without input from me. I like the balancing act of the system, I didn't like feeling like my earlier efforts and choices were now pointless and my run was effectively ruined.

I know roguelites are all about adapting, but this felt more like I was starting a new run in the middle of one and I really didn't like it. I think the combat and systems are fun, but I just hated feeling like I was robbed in the middle of a session I was deep into.

I also don't like the Aztec-inspired dungeon/enemies/etc. It just doesn't sit right with me.

Aside from the curse system, this game is a lackluster compared to anything the genre offers.

- Weapons lack balance (there are only few superior options if you want to maximize efficiency).
- Stamina system sucks and you don't have control over it (why increasing stamina points is not an option?).
- Easy boss fights (like every boss has 3 sets of moves that are easily readable, no phases nor variations. The first time you encounter a boss your chance of winning is higher than losing).
- Soundtracks are mediocre at best.
- No story or any other source of motivation to finish the game.

There are tons of more enjoyable roguelites that worth your time and money.. don't waste it on this.

The thing that you need to know about this is that it's sooo damn addictive. I can say the number of times that I've replayed the levels in the game every time I die, and I can't seem to put it down.

It has a certain Souls-like feel, that makes me feels like a masochist while playing it. Currently, I haven't finished it, but I can say the game is fun to mix and match your preferred playstyle for every level. I'll probably give an update once I'm done playing all levels.
