Way more challenging than I expected. And while I don't like how auto-attack isn't a toggle, this is a MUST BUY.
Great aesthetic, killer soundtrack, tons of fun.
This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome. It IS a bit short, but for the price it's far more than enough content. The music bangs, the gameplay is brilliant, the aesthetic is perfect, it runs on basically anything, and to top it off, the game has been receiving consistent support and updates, adding things like co-op and workshop support. So to restate, this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome.
