If you liked castle crashers or rouge legacy then this is the game for you. Also if you like this game thos two games are great too. I already beat the game 3 times at 16 hours, but havent unlocked all the bosses or gear or fully leveled up. I still havent even gotten close to beating the game on hard mode, so I still have a while to go. any ways its a great game and well worth the price.

Bought this game on a whim, I'm pretty impressed. The first few times dying made it a little hard to stay interested, but once I started getting more souls and perking my next character up it got a lot more fun and a little more fast paced. It always sucks dying and starting from the beginning, but drives you that much further to conserve health and play smart, regardless of how easy the concept.

Great game, my taste! Love the gameplay alot as it makes me think of games like Rogue Legacy or Rampage Knights, games that I love alot. Roguelike like usual, when you die you restart with a new random class from 0, but with progress. When fighting through levels you gather souls which you can invest in a skill tree upon dying before restarting.

Would love to know more games like these.

Great title! (I mainly play it in co-op fyi)

Pros:
* Roguelike with permanent progress
* Responsive gameplay. It just feels right (fluid, you don't get stuck by enemies,...)
* Good difficulty curve (though some bosses feels weaker than others of the same level, like the giant spider which is very, very easy(might be because of co-op))
* The music is absolutely gorgeous and WILL get stuck in your head ;)
* Some funny buff/debuff effects from potions

Cons:
* Few instances where you can get stuck in co-op because you died on a trap so your friend can't resurect you
* Some minor bugs/issues here and there but the game still receive updates apprently.

One (if not the) of my favourite game in this genre.

Very interesting and playable game though it's quite hard for me. I just killed the first boss but died very soon in the second chapter. haha

This game is amazing
"DARK SOULS WITH CARTOON ANIMATION"
its hard as ♥♥♥♥ and nighmare mode, forget it!
even the little ♥♥♥♥♥♥ goblins that you 1 hit can combo the ♥♥♥♥ out of you if your not careful.
-when you die you use the souls of the enemeys you've killed to level up and get perks and increased stats.
-story changes once you've completed the game so you have to keep going to find out what happened

only one negative point-
-in the starting dungeon you can get the weapons from the blacksmith, chests from theif easy enough
-but if you potions from the pharmacist you have to go through the lines of dialogue each time
-please fix it so you can get the potions by interaction with the goblet/pot thing where he makes them.

It's Binding of Isaac + Castle Crashers love child.
A highly addictive and very polished rogue-like dungeon crawler with a lot to discover and that can only get better with the impending online co-op for less than 10€. One of the best price/value ratio games in the whole store.

I've put around 12 hours into this game and love it!

If you enjoy the rogue-type game with a nice variety of weapons and upgrades, get it!

Literally one of the hardest games i have ever played. i honestly want to beat my head in my desk evrytime i die. that being said i feel the only time you can go relatively far with are the weapons that have a ranged attack. fun game but needs work. i only recommend this game if you want to stress yourself out.

This is the best honestly. I love this game. It might be very difficult and in a need of a update brining checkpoints but this game is amazing. I first got and played it with my friend brady and we love it! It is a great game to sink your teeth into and it brings tons of hours of fun. It is a really addictive game and don't be suprised to play this game all night. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME.

I knew this game at game convention "Game Start" 2016 in Singapore. This game developer was helding an event to see who can get the most soul. I was one of player and I played the game until the developer told to stop because it was their time to go home.
Good to know this game and I found this is amazing while combining the "beat them up" and "action RPG" genre, as well as "dark soul" which you will game over for a lot of time until you can clear the stage.
This made me play the game until 6am. The random generating of map and monsters is great and you won't feel bore for each time you play. It is like a total new stage.

In case anyone occasionally reads this ... I was not a man of reviewing unitl sitting in a train having nothing to do this moment. The idea of Why not give reviews to all my games suddenly came to my mind and Bang! This is it.

Nice piece for killing time in my gf's outdated Macbook air XD
Wish for more cute girl characters to join with the warriors!

Awesome game that is very similar to Rogue Legacy. Not perfect, and definitely starts to feel slow and repetative over time, but easily provides at least a few hours of entertainment.

A nice rouge-like game “I would not tell I have played for 20h”
The game just remind me of childhood, the time for playing 2D fighting game...
Meanwhile, I think the multi-play mode should be more interesting .

Really fun, challenging game that is great to play with friends. I love the variety of weapons and enemies - with how random everything this game is, there is tons of replay value. I really enjoyed killing everything and trying to find items that I knew and could use well.

Excellent fun for local co-op. The developers are attentive and responsive to bug reports. Roguelike game with some RPG progression elements is just the right mix to keep us coming back to curse at the same small spider again and again. Don't get me started on the moleshark.

Would definitely recommend for local co-op shoppers and they recently added online co-op, although I've yet to try it.
