The game got an update yesterday (0.5.0) which added plentiful of QoL, new skins etc. It's in a good place. It's got plenty of weapons and combination of gear you can do during a run. There are a few biomes, each with a different set of enemies and a bossfight at the end.

Not super buggy and quite stable.

I bought the game two months ago and got almost 69 (nice) hours in total. You can totally play it for longer, though.

Once you finish the tutorial, one of the NPCs in the hub will let you access a server browser (with current sessions that you can join if they're public, based on different regions) where you can also create your own private/public session for friends. They can join through a code. It's really easy to use.

Thanks for the insight!
As long as I don’t run out of “stuff to do” i ll surely be hooked! I always loved Roguelites (DRG Survivor and Soulstone Sourvivors are my favs) so i might give a try on this one too!

I mean, it's up to you. But I would not recommend it in the current state. I'd rather buy Dead Cells with all the DLC at a discount.

You can play for quite a while but it really depend of what you want.

If you love grinding game to unlock everything and complete higher difficulty. Then you have plenty to do and build to try. Warning game isn't easy to pass trough each difficulty.
In 40 run, I reach difficulty 3 with 3 succesfull (Game complete) run.
I still have to beat difficulty 3 then 4 and 5... And the difficulty really ramp up at 3.

If you stop playing after beating a game once (It a rogue like, not a 20h campaing), finish the storie, don't care about unlocking or trying new upgrade and weapon. Then you probably won't play for long and most roguelike game are probably not what your looking for.

The game is intended to be played with one or two friends, so in its current state, especially if you want to unlock everything, if you're playing singleplayer, you'll have plenty of playtime. The game is pretty difficult until you figure out builds and such, then it becomes a bit less difficult until you unlock another difficulty by finishing a run. With 95 current hours, I have finished a run on all the difficulties, but I did have help (from randos) for Cataclysm. If you're struggling with a difficulty or just want fast unlocks, jump into a public lobby.

Multiplayer coop is handled through an invite code with the added option to invite people from the Steam friend list directly if you're starting your own game. Otherwise, it's handled through a list of public lobbies (most of which are usually full or in a run) or through an invite code from someone else.

If you're looking for the midway point between Dead Cells and Hades, this is it. If you're looking for something that's got an incredibly engaging story that changes based on the choices you make and will feel very personal and meaningful... not so much. There are story elements, but they're not super impactful. The Sanctuary update added the most relevant-feeling story elements to the game, and even then it's not even main story, it's just some side stuff.

It's worth playing while it's in early access.

Edit: Just saw that you got it. Hope you're enjoying it.

Thanks for the detailed answer!
Yes i bought it but still didn't played it because i didnt had time! Will do tonight!
I played Hades and Deadcells before and i liked them, so im sure i might like this one too!

Atm im kinda hooked on DRG Survivor and Soulstone Survivors! Those are very good Roguelites.

P.s: If im in the middle of a run and i have to exit, will i lose all the progress or the game will be saved?

If you're in the middle of a run solo and you quit, you can safely return. Progress saves ^^ I don't remember if this applies to multiplayer. Hope you're enjoying this gem of a game!
