❤ Responsive and Satisfying Combat System

Players praise the combat system for its responsiveness and satisfaction. They highlight the ability to cancel most attacks with special moves, allowing for extended combos and skillful play. Reviewers describe the controls as intuitive, with attacks and abilities feeling consistently effective against enemies. The game's difficulty is also noted as well-balanced, providing a good challenge without feeling unfair.

❤ Variety in Playable Characters

The game features six unique playable characters, each with their own set of three special abilities that can be upgraded. This variety helps to keep the gameplay feeling fresh, as players can experiment with different character builds and playstyles. Reviewers often compare the characters to retro gaming heroes, with their abilities and movesets referencing classic franchises like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and more.

❤ Permadeath and Roguelike Elements

One of the core aspects is its permadeath mechanic. When a player dies, their save data is lost, and they must start a new run from the beginning. This creates a high-stakes, roguelike experience where each playthrough matters. Players must carefully manage their resources, such as the cash earned from kills, in order to revive themselves and progress further. This system, combined with the game's branching level paths and random enemy placements, encourages repeated playthroughs and experimentation.

❤ Cooperative Multiplayer

Reviewers particularly praise the local cooperative multiplayer, which supports up to four players. The gameplay is designed to be enjoyed with friends, with the difficulty scaling based on the number of players. Reviewers highlight the fun and chaos of battling through hordes of enemies alongside their companions, utilizing each character's unique abilities to overcome the challenges.

❤ Depth and Replayability

While the game may initially appear to have a limited number of stages, reviewers note that the depth comes from the multiple paths and secret bosses that can be discovered. The ability to choose the order in which players tackle the levels, along with the varied enemy and boss encounters, helps to keep the gameplay feeling fresh and encouraging repeated playthroughs. Additionally, the game's different difficulty modes and leaderboards provide additional incentives for players to master the combat system and improve their scores.
