It's a great game. I've played it for dozens of hours now across the demo, playtest, and full version. The core gameplay foundation is excellent. Combat feels great, art style continues to impress me, and it's a great roguelike option for friends. The Risk and Reward system with afflictions is a big highlight. As you level up and heal, there's a chance...

Interesting options for builds/classes/perks CONS: 1....
Was afflicted with "Far-Sighted," and everything near me got unplayably blurry. Was then afflicted with "Near-Sighted," and everything far from me got unplayably blurry.
