Top ten for me. Have over a 100 hours in it. It's not without flaws as it gets grindy and frustratingly difficult without grinding and some rng luck. The main draws for me were masterful co-op and addictive rogue-lite meta progression, weapon and equipment stacking. It became my wife's favorite game who is not very good at them, but in co-op she could hold her own as it is fairly simple button mashing. Timing is key and she got a decent hang of that. We still haven't beat in on hard mode, but have gotten so close several times. Would jump right back in if new dlc came out. Also my sister's and her bf's top ten. So I guess I would recommend it lol, but especially if you can co-op it!

Edit: I have it on steam, so not sure about any Switch specific updates or issues etc.

I mean, it's two dollars.....

That said, It's pretty fun though might feel little repetitive after a while. And it is decent amount of fun 4-player couch coop.

Thanks, i'll take the very small risk that it isn't an amazing game for only $2!

Our family loved Boomerang Fu in the pandemic. If this is half as fun, it will be well worth the $2.

I played at least 60 hours on this game and it's really fun for the first 15 hours or so. Here are some things about it.

1. It's really really hard. Beating the last boss on hard or extra or whatever it's called was probably as difficult as hades level 25 or so.
2. The controls and combat is far from perfect. Not forgiving at all as thr pixel art makes it difficult to time dodging and know which space is getting hit at times (it's ok like 98% of the time).
3. The upgrade system after about 15 hours is super frustrating. If you don't get the minimum upgrade points (forgot what they're called) you lose everything. You can keep max of like 50% or like 30 points (whichever is higher) and the cheapest upgrade will be like 100 (so if you don't get 70 you lose it all). Which means runs under 30 mins or so would net you nothing.
4. Lots of rng like others said. Sometimes it's frustrating because you will have like 90% chance to win the run but just never get a decent item (ultra good stats) or vice versa. Didn't bother me much.

I do not recommend it for kids under 8. Children of morta is much more forgiving and better upgrades for less experienced players. Hades is also much better for less intense players.

Definitely worth $2 though...

This looks a hell of a lot like Castle Crashers. Better graphics, but same style. Am I far off on that?

At least on pc they released a "final patch" recently that added tons of new content. Not as good as castle crashers, but similar. More difficult and less arcade feeling but anyone who liked that would like this too.
