this game has the worst netcode I have ever experienced in a multiplayer game. Do not purchase this if your intent is to play it with a friend.

- The menu state machine is 100% retarded. Joining a multiplayer game breaks every time you try to do it while already in the game. It can handle exactly 1 screen transition without breaking the state machine and we gave up trying to find it and used steam's option to join from the steam library. Once in multiplayer both characters can go to character selection but if they both do the game is locked, instead one player has to go to character selection and then the other has to "join" their character selection.

- player position sync is server-authoratative with rubber-band client side prediction while I suspect the server is attempting to replay client movement input (instead of just receiving their position as a vector). That means the player that isn't hosting is connected to an invisible point by a rubber band and they snap back to that location constantly as its position slowly gets updated by the server. The effect is like ice skating on a treadmill that changes directions randomly. After moving your character slides to wherever the server thinks you are based on how it interpreted your button presses which, with any latency at all, is always wrong and you slide all over the map uncontrollably flying into traps and enemies and dying constantly.

- any time the host opens a UI element or has a tutorial pop-up on their screen, network synchronization stops and the 2nd player de-syncs entirely

Literally unplayable for the 2nd character I don't understand how none of the other reviews are mentioning this. My theory is that no real human has ever played this game. Only game journalists.

The game is good, but the system that i cannot use the same character to play because of fatigue sucks, if i want to play with the same character thats my choice. So thats a total turn off.

One of those 2010s rougelikes with nice pixel graphics and fun gameplay. The problem, as with all games in this class, is that once you've played one you kind of played them all. Fun if you're in the mood for the genre. It has a story about family that helps stands out from other games, but the actual gameplay is a dime a dozen. If you've played Hades, Dead Cells, etc., then you've already played this game with a different coat of paint.

Bought the game to play Co-op. Doesn't work, looks like it has never worked. Garbage

Ugly clunky garbage.

One of the best roguelike pixel art RPGs I've ever played. Great atmosphere, simple yet interesting and skill based combat, very nice story and most of all incredibly balanced gameplay. I completed it in coop in both New game and New game+ modes (both on normal difficulty).

it fun

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Nice, small, feel good game.
This game was such a treat, it's not complicated to play, has fun variety of characters and a nice story on the side. Graphics that i really enjoyed in the way it was done and nice to see the house (no spoilers) develop with things you find in the world.

Would surely recommend thought bit unsure for who exactly ;).... i think for those that like the Good vs Evil, fantasy story, that feels just good to play. It's not the most action packed game with newest graphics, but for me that just worked in it's favor.
Sure there's things that could be better, but honestly i don't see any reason to complain on this one.
Enjoyed it from beginning till the end and i'm sure others will to.
