I've gotten to like NG 7+ several years ago, and now I'm playing it again. Why is it still fun? How?? Progression (on both town and character) and randomized loot always engages you, and the "team guild buff" encourages

This game is fun, that all that matters when it comes down to it... I bought it on sale and the game is long 87 hours in and I still haven't 100% it. The game is all about the replayability and its great!

How long has this game been out and they still cant fix controllers. Why do skill 1 only shoot left and skill 2 only goes right? There is NO AIMING with controller. If you can even fail to map basic controls what does

Awesome little roguelite with VERY fun meta progression. If thats the kind of thing you're looking for in a rougelite then you're gonna like this one. Only negative thing I will say is that the servers are DEAD now so

OP roguelite. Warlock is my first and favorite class. Currently beating the game with a ranger. It might feel repetitive around the third/fourth area but if you beat them it's just endless fun. Nine different classes
