What goes wrong
NO TUTORIAL NOTHING AT ALL, THIS GAME JUST THROWS YOU TO PLAY AND FIGURE IT OUT WHILE EVERYTHING IS DAMAGING YOU LIKE WTF.
The worst game feel on the roguelike market, really boring character building, stagnant garbage riding the original game's name to the grave.
The game just deleted my save (after bugging multiple times forcing my character to look upward) and uploaded it to Steam Cloud.
Once again a new update comes out and the game is beyond unplayable.
its repetitive and sucks balls
What goes well
i love this game if i had 10 minutes left on earth i would spend it playing this game its just so perfect
the gameplay mechanics are incredible and smooth, the item stacking makes builds feel insane, and the content is basically infinite.
i love how much you can replay this game it has so many hours of gameplay and i highly recommend this game.
Absolutely love the game so far! Great to play with friends (whether you work together well or not 😂)
Amazing game with a phenomenal soundtrack!! The music is electric. Absolutely adore this game. 10/10

Literally no reason for it to lag or break the way it does, not just late game with all the enemies and corpses around but literally on start of a run it is unplayable with how laggy it is.

Hours upon hours of progress have been wiped multiple times because the devs could't figure out how to stop save files from corrupting.
Fun game, but good lord multiplayer is unplayable. Constant DCs and lags, honestly unacceptable state for it to be a "co-op" game

To this day this game is still a go-to pick-up for a bit of fun with friends. Great gameplay, wild combat battles and the varied character creation and builds you can produce provide a lot of bang...
This game is enticing! It just pulls you in. Marvellous bullet hell rougelike, I'd recommend this 1000x over to someone looking for a fun, turn your brain off, spotify in the background kinda game.
I had to restart my eclipse completion runs multiple times due to my save files corrupting. All I had to do was finish eclipse 8 on Void Fiend and Loader but apparently I have lost all progress.
