What players say
I got my first ever legendary weapon which was a shotgun with explosive ammo so i was like "ok i have 120 health let me see if i can propel myself off the floor" nope the moment i shot the ground i died and lost the weapon 10 seconds after getting it. 10/10 game would recommend.
the "roguelike" features are just the fact that its randomized and you lose your guns after every level. so that its different. wow. i want to like this game, was really exited to play it but its basically just a doom mod. thats what it feels like at least.
