An interesting roguelike shooter both alone and in co-op, but it quickly gets boring.

While I appreciate the character DLCs, I don't really like the direction this game has taken for replayability. Having seasonal mechanics tacked on seems like the easy approach but doesn't add much to the overall game. They really should take the Dead Cells model with the stage scheming and add more branching zones and tilesets to make things feel fresh. Add more variety to the rooms per stage, like with the recent anxi desert change. Stick to one overarching mechanic that players can keep grinding on instead of adding seasonal ones that shift character useability and run approach every 4 months.

Subsequent updates also seem to be introducing some lag to the game. Tabbing out, even in singleplayer makes the game hang for a split second. Entering one room in multiplayer after someone else causes the game to hang at times. If the devs really do want to stick to the seasonal plan, then expand the skins to include the characters as well and make them limited to events! Soul essence is already a persistent currency that players can acquire with a grind.

as much as we like this game, the mind bending tactics we have to go through to understand any of the text leaves much to be desired. you'd think with how many copies they love to brag about selling and with how many dlcs obviously work considering they keep pumping them out could hire at least one decent translator or quality assurance person. hell, some of the text isnt even translated!! at all!!!
