I cannot recommend this game enough. While everything about it is fantastic and ticks all the boxes of your new favorite rogue-like, the main thing that i love about this game is how powerful the builds feel and how satisfying the combat is. While the progression through a run follows a very Hades style of branching paths and synergistic deities, the combat is in the style of SSB or Rivals of Aether.

By far, the best part of the game for me are the weapons. Each one comes with two styles, both with amazing feeling controls and combos. I initially picked this game up for the fist weapons, as it's rare to find a game that makes a gauntlet weapon feel fun to use. Not only is this now my favorite example of this type of weapon, I can't understate how good every single weapon feels. I normally despise Bow-style weapons in rogues, and yet, it was the weapon I beat the final boss with, solely because of how fun the acrobatic combos of it's move set are.

Progression in this game is fast paced. Every run will see you starting with some new ability (or 4), as the skill tree(s) are amazing at giving you fun boosts for a good runs' work. I never felt like i needed to really grind for anything, despite there being so many unlockables and upgrades. I suppose that's most likely due to how fun just starting up a run and going for it really is.

Lastly, the style, OH GOD THE STYLE IT'S SO GOOD!! Everything, from the characters to the enemies to the levels and cosmetics and weapons and animations and etc... perfect. It's so simplistic but the shear amount of stuff everywhere lends a sense of fullness and wonder to such simplistic scenes.

I recommend this to anyone looking for a fast rogue-like with fluid platform-fighter style combat and god-power builds. This game makes you feel strong, and gives you incredible fights worthy of your style. And again for those in the back, THE GAUNTLETS IN THIS GAME ARE TOP-TIER! GOOD PUNCHY GAME, LETS GOOOOO!

Super Smash Rouges

As a person who is not qualified to analyize any game, this game is one of my favourites.

it's just good, i can't say much other than that. i didn't see any objective mistakes that made me want to drop the game.
