❤ Gameplay Depth and Customization

Players can choose from a variety of "Signature Inks" that serve as distinct character classes, each with their own unique passive abilities and playstyles. Within each class, players can further customize their abilities by mixing and matching different "Generator" and "Spender" skills, which serve as the primary and secondary abilities. Reviewers praise the depth of this customization system, noting that there are many viable build combinations that fundamentally change how the game is played.

❤ Cooperative Play and Synergy

Reviewers highlight the importance of working together with teammates to create powerful synergies, as skills and upgrades can interact in surprising ways, both within a single player's build and across multiple players. The "Font" system, which allows players to invoke powerful Tome-themed abilities as a team, encourages coordinated play.

❤ Roguelike Progression and Replayability

Each run feels distinct due to the wide variety of ability combinations and Binding modifiers available. The "Endless" mode, which allows players to continue a run indefinitely after defeating a boss, adds an extra layer of challenge and replayability. While the permanent progression system, which allows players to gradually unlock new abilities and upgrades, is more divisive, reviewers appreciate the sense of persistent growth and progression.

❤ Polished and Responsive Gameplay

Across the board, reviewers highlight the overall polish and responsiveness of the gameplay. They describe the movement and combat as feeling "snappy" and "fluid", with satisfying feedback and visual effects. The game's performance is also noted as being well-optimized, even in the current Early Access state. While the game is not without its technical issues and areas for improvement, the core gameplay loop is widely praised as being extremely fun and addictive, particularly when played with friends.
