I love the game so far, but there are a bunch of issues that need to be addressed.

Chaos Curse: Doom, 200 seconds to clear 3 encounters is already a very tight deadline. However, even taking that into account, why doesn't this pause when you clear an encounter. I've never been a risk before when the encounter is over, so why now? The first time was an unpleasant surprise, but even after I don't like to be rushed when making decisions and gathering resources.

Chaos boons generally: a lot let worth it, since the number of encounters is so reduced. The chances of luging a major handicap into a boss is too high. Maybe tone down the duration?

Sister Knives Daedalus Hammer has an option that simply removes the ability to use omega. I tried it because it sounded like a faster attack, but it was simply the normal attack string, and it removed an option.

Boon User Information: There needs to be clarity about whether attack and special buffs apply to your omega versions.

Nemisis Keepsake is too niche - +Damage against the enemy that killed you isn't enough of a draw. Even if I died against chronos, it's not clear to me that its even better to take this over Knucklebones which would take off 15% of his life and give me substantial DR.

Icarus Hammer Keepsake: let us pick a hammer upgrade please, the some of the hammer upgrades are so niche as to be useless, or actively detrimental to the build making this never worth taking.

Tarterus Hell Room - It doesn't happen every run, but occassionally I get a tarterus room that has an enemy density so high its completely overwhelming, especially with them all armored.

Hephastus Sprint is too powerful at higher rarities.

Infusion boons rely on too many infusions to be practical most runs. The runs seem about 5 encounters shorter than Hades I, so there aren't nearly as many boons you will see and they will be spread out among gods with very different elemental distributions. Since the infusion boon is non-elemental, it is rarely worth taking one early and praying that you will contintue to see gods with the right affinities to activate it. I have only taken them when they show up late and I've already lucked into a build that uses a lot of one element.
