It was a fun and smooth experience. Handcrafted rooms were significantly better than random ones as the latter often just spam you with whatever biome has. There’s some variety in gear to create a build suited for your preferred playstyle but I’m not sure there’s a significant difference between weapons. You can freely swap things so there’s no commitment to a class or anything. You can be a “warrior” for the first

I don't know how, but the gameplay loop of bullet-hell + looter/crafter all in an RPG package (that ISN'T a roguelike) is so good but I can't really think of any other game like it. This game is so good. Tight controls, awesome weapons akin to Terraria's weapons, awesome sense of progression, and a good mix of cool boss fights with basic enemy fights. There's a lot to like and I want more.
