Amazing, fast-paced, skill-intensive, and incredibly entertaining game! Highly recommended!!! *btw, with the good set of items and guns, you might get lucky and beat the game in just 10 minutes :D
When you get gut and used to the beat and pace of the game this becomes one of the best shooters-roguelites. And THE BEST RYTHM game. Its just so satisfactory to move and shoot to the beat. No other game does it so well. I tried Necrodancer, Hellsinger and some other games.. but this game... this one hits different. The developers nailed it. Highly recommended. (please don't mind the hours played. I pirated the game...
