Especially really good and satisfying gun sound effects.

    It’s not really a full on roguelike. You do “upgrade” weapons as you use them, so when you die it’s not a complete loss. Also once you beat a boss you never have to fight them again if you don’t want to. You just make it through three areas (3 bosses each), and then you unlock the next 3, but you don’t have to start from the very beginning for the last 3.

    Maybe it helps if you think of it as an arcade version of a soulslike game? Play it in 30 minute increments, don’t stress about beating it and naturally you’ll get better enough to beat it.

    The story and setting is pretty unique and awesome as well.

      Sounds like it’s more of a roguelite then? Those are definitely more appealing to me because even in failure, you can make steady progress. Thanks to comments here, I’m gonna try it probably this weekend!

        Great! It’s honestly one of the best games that’s come out in recent years. It’s definitely the best new IP.
