Fantastic game. The sound design and graphics are great, the gameplay's smooth, and all three weapons and their upgrades are fun and interesting to use. There's not quite enough variety to make the game super replayable, but I definitely a lot of fun playing through to the end and fully unlocking all three upgrade paths.

A very short, fun fantasy roguelike. Just hold left mouse to spam crossbow and occasionally press right mouse to toss a damaging potion toward enemies. After each stage, it rolls 3 random choices from the decent sized pool of perks, and can choose one to upgrade. You are also given this choice every time you level up from collecting XP orbs dropped from enemies. There are only 3 stages I believe around the small map, but then you are given the option to Escape or Continue, and I chose Continue to replay through the same stages again. It doesn't reset your progress though, so you can continue building up your skills to see how OP you can become. I made it to the 2nd stage again before being overwhelmed by enemies and did not feel the urge to replay. I think I've seen everything there is to see, but it was free fun for a good 40 minutes. Give it a try if you like roguelikes, it's not one for everybody but maybe you'll like it.
