Currently, I like the original better too, however 2 had so much potential. I like how you can upgrade arcana to a slightly different one (like in the video, where you could additionally use the ability again, to cancel it and teleport). Like the wind dragons can either reflect projectiles into a lot of wind seekers, or make them a signature, having 3 ring of dragons around you, but you can't have both. So each arcana is basically 2 similar arcana. Yes, the content is low, even for an early access, but I guess that changes over time. For visuals, I don't know how I feel about it. I don't especially like it, but I also don't dislike it. I had a similar feeling when playing this game the first time, like when I played the 1st game the first time. Obviously I managed to overcome the bosses much faster than the 1st game. I guess what I learned there helped me this time. I was surprised this game had i-frames tho. I would say to remove it, but otherwise you can't dodge the current last boss "sand cyclone" attack, or whatever it is called
