Early Access Review
I am writing after having gotten to the end of story content that was available.

What the early access offers is really promising, a platformer heavily inspired by Diablo. Each of the 2 characters has multiple different skills per break point that they can spec into, with legendary equipment that alters or improves how said skills can perform. These skills can be changed once during a run, and are entirely reset at the end of a run. Gear obtained during a run is carried over between runs, and can be either used, sold, or stored at home base. Artifacts can be obtained during a run and offer stat bonuses, with larger bonuses being offered if artifacts share affinities

Pros
- Combat is simple but engaging
- Combat is broken up into multiple small zones within a larger area, giving you time to breath after an encounter
- The skill trees offer a lot of versatility when paired with the artifact system
- Character and enemy design is immaculate

Cons
- Various small glitches and issues throughout, nothing game breaking, but the occasional audio or visual glitch can be jarring
- Later enemies have true combos, and it can feel unfair to have to deal with them when there are multiple enemies on screen
- Plot dumps begin early, and happen often. At a certain point I was mashing to get through them without reading because of the sheer amount of lore that gets dropped all at once as opposed to being bled out over multiple interactions or areas
- I can't find a way to report bugs or balance issues I come across

Conclusion
This game is 100% worth the price tag currently, and I can't wait to see what it will become with improvements.

Edit on November 1, 2024: Removed one of the cons, as a patch removed the issue
