i gotta say, i did not expect this to be one of my favorite roguelikes and yet here we are. everything is full of personality from the challenges to the art style. im not a huge fan of the huge booba thing they got going on, but thats a personal preference that is definitly not shared by everyone. i do still love all the characters and their personalities.

The character select screen by itself oozes so much personality, and that’s from the characters alone.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

So much content and an amazing gameplay loop, so much heart and soul put into each little bit, the characters are amazing, the sound design is beyond pleasant, and the music is god tier.
