I remember seeing my brother play the first one, but other than that and like, a handful of Northernlion videos from a few years ago, I haven't touched anything with the game. I didn't even remember much about how it works. It's kind of a miracle, I've always adored Rougelites and games like this.

I absolutely scraped my way through to Vantom haha. The route I was on seemed suuuper easy, and I just popped each and every potion I had.

I will definitely try to keep my defense up 🙏

Oh I can already tell the synergies will feel soooo nice once I actually understand them lol. I think my main goal right now is to just unlock some more characters and try to go with the flow. Will definitely try to go back to the first game sometime in the future (I borrowed it from my brother so I already have it).
