I think out of all the roguelikes, this game has the best boss fights in terms of animations and technical skill needed to dodge and beat the bosses. The Leliana Sisters feel much more epic to fight and defeat than Theseus and Asterius in Hades.

This game also provides a dizzingly high array of item choices and skull combinations (skulls are what you equip on your character to completely change their playstyle through obtaining new skills and attacks with different effects). These two factors have encouraged me to keep replaying the game as I want to try out so many different item builds and legendary skull combinations. The variety is on a comparable level to other roguelikes.

The big problem I have with this game though is that there is no way to vary the difficulty of the game or change the attack patterns and buffs the enemies have like you can in Hades (increase the heat gauge) or Dead Cells (go from 0bc to 1bc). The bosses and mobs remain the same throughout each playthrough, so once you exhaust trying many of the item and skull combinations and understand how to dodge and beat boss/mob attacks, the game becomes relatively easier and loses much of its replayability.

Overall, for $20, you can easily squeeze out 20+ fun filled hours playing this game. It is close to becoming one of the best roguelikes like Hades or Dead Cells, but it needs more content updates through increasing difficulty in subsequent playthroughs as well as changing boss attack patterns and difficulty.
