Normal game is much too long and grindy. And also just you never feel as powerful compared to workshop mods. For me it was playable with Workshop mods, Sped up the game x1000. Also unlocks a ton, Allows you to go way

It's a pixelated rogue-like dungeon crawler. I don't play these so this one is unique and that's it's main pull for me. I don't think I'll buy more of this type of game since this scratches the "Gauntlet" itch I picked

Honestly a really great game, played it for a while on other devices as well and it's still just as fun here. Multiple character classes, 9 I think. lots of replayability, NG+ etc. Well worth the price.

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

Great run-based dungeon crawler rpg. Pretty decent for solo play but clearly designed with multiplayer in mind. TL;DR: Heroes of Hammerwatch strikes an excellent balance between the RNG factor of a typical roguelite,
