What players say
Easier than it looks, but infinitely harder to master than you could imagine. In other words, great game.
I played a ton of monolith before "the update" and honestly never expected to get back into it after the rebrand. I'm really glad I decided to pick it up again though! Trials (which I never thought I'd complete) have banger tracks and cool mechanics (with the exception of Trial 5, specifically the unique final boss that you can't practice until you clear the trial, this is dumb! ) and the new loop bosses/loop rework...
I can't play other rogue games anymore because they all just make me want to play this instead. Awesome.
