❤ Responsive, Precise Controls

Players consistently praise the game's fluid, responsive controls, highlighting the tight, precise movements. The dodge-roll maneuver, in particular, provides limited invincibility to help skilfully evade enemy attacks.

❤ Vast Arsenal of Customizable Weapons

One of the standout features is the game's vast array of over 100,000 unique weapon configurations. Players can experiment with diverse loadouts, leveraging a synergy system where equipping multiple weapons of the same type or element provides powerful passive bonuses. This encourages strategic thinking to maximize the synergies between equipped guns. In addition to the varied weapons, the game also features a wide selection of collectible artifacts that grant unique passive effects when equipped, further expanding the build customization options.

❤ Challenging Yet Fair Progression

While the game presents a challenging, hardcore experience, reviewers largely feel the difficulty curve is well-balanced and fair. As players progress, the game increases in complexity, but deaths often stem from the player's own mistakes rather than unfair mechanics. Some note that certain boss battles can be demanding if the player lacks a properly synergized build, but the overall consensus is that the game strikes a good balance between tough challenges and rewarding skilful play.

❤ Randomized Environments and Replayability

The game's environments and enemy placements are continuously reconfigured and randomly generated, ensuring each run through the tower feels unique. This, combined with the vast weapon and item variety, results in a high degree of replayability, as no two runs are exactly alike. While progress is not permanent, and players must start from the beginning after each death, the ability to unlock permanent upgrades and shortcuts helps alleviate frustration, allowing for steady progression over time.

❤ Satisfying, Responsive Combat

The combat is widely praised for its satisfying, responsive feel. The 360-degree aiming cursor allows players to precisely target and eliminate enemies from any direction, and the game's visual and audio design, such as the meaty weapon sounds and fluid animations, contribute to the sense of impact and power. Reviewers also highlight the variety of enemy types and their unique behaviors, which require players to adapt their strategies and engage in thoughtful, tactical combat to overcome the challenges presented.
