What players say
Can't recommend, 50% out of runs result in death after the first few moves within sight of the stairs. You might be able to get a few levels in and then get pulverized for no reason, or miss a mob 20+ times in a row. Based purely on luck to get past and get some "heritages" under your belt that may give you a few more steps...if you do buy prepare to see the same character in the graveyard about 500x....not fun.

I really want to love this game. The game itself would be amazing IF you didn't die almost instantly... every...single...game. Its almost impossible to play with its current difficulty and I really wish they would tone it down or make some additional difficulty level settings because I think it would really shine. I've just had enough restarts in over 100 hours of gameplay to finally say enough is enough and...
I am sorry to say I cannot recommend this game I tried many times to like it but even thought it was addictive - it fails to deliver if constant hardcore death is your thing again and again and again gets really tiring after a while to point enough is enough
