Its really sad to see a project you really enjoy have the glaring issue that this one has
Its really sad to see a project you really enjoy have the glaring issue that this one has. So I have been playing this title since the beta was added to steam. It managed to capture the same feeling in me that spelunky had back in the day although with a variety of added elements to keep it fresh. I enjoyed it to the point of playing 120+ hours of it and loved every second of it. That honestly hasn't changed, at is core it is still the same game and I am enjoying playing through and experiencing the new content... well some of the new content. With the public release more effort has been put in to add a narrative to the game. This is where the issue lies. While I didn't go in expecting anything close to 'deepest lore' I was expecting it to be in the very least entertaining, instead it is something closer to what I would expect from a 15 year old COD player. Lines like 'faplord' really break me out of the moment and leave me cringing and entire dialogue sessions in the main room leave me wondering what the hell the developers were thinking. Really it makes the project feel like someones child has come in and drawn on the walls, effectively cheapening the entire experience. It wont stop me playing the game because mechanically it is great, it just has one embarrasing flaw in the form of a 'story'

It has the makings of a great game, but it's bogged down with HORRIBLE enemy design and AI
It has the makings of a great game, but it's bogged down with HORRIBLE enemy design and AI. The enemies are way stupid good at tracking your movement, and some enemies are straight up impossible to kill without taking damage using certain perks. Blessings are extremely unbalanced, ranging from ones that do literally nothing (I'm looking at you lucky) to ones that the game practically can't be beaten without. The bosses all have unique weaknesses, which is great, except they require certain builds, so if you have a melee heavy build you simply have no choice but to reset, as you have no chance of winning. Once especially egregious boss is one whose weakness is on top of it's head, which would be fine, except the walls are covered in poison so you can only reach it's head if you have the double jump perk, blessing, or the golden feather. The game is HEAVILY rng based and will often lock blessings and hidden levels behind rock walls you can't get through, since the game didn't give you a single bomb. Combat grinds to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ halt unless you have a ton of melee damage, since you have to hit and run if you don't feel like leaving it up to rng whether the enemy parries you and gets a free hit or not. Oh, and spikes will nearly insta-kill you, and many enemies, even on the first floor, can launch you at 300 miles per hour into them if you get hit so much as once. It's infuriating, because the rest of it is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good.
