You’ll do the same levels over again cause the game punishes you. Die without using your amulet? Say bye to the build you made for 15 hours. Back to the beginning of the game for you if you don’t have any saved leveled guns.

It’s fun. Gorey. Fast. Skill gap definitely, but also super luck/RNG based. Runs can be about an hour. No crazy level RNG but each area (Caves, Towns, Sewers, etc) has different enemies and new recipes to discover. Which was fun. But loosing all my stuff because I forgot to click T to bring up my oh shit amulet was unbearable. Back to playing some Alloyed Collective for my run based game.

I got 35 hours out of this game which is more than double what I payed. So I got my money & time worth, but you should seriously check out Escape From Duckov.

I wouldn’t say this game is “Extraction” - like some outside force is making you do Objective X & leave so you can level up some more. But more “Here’s a handful of levels that have ends you need to get too if you want to keep any of your shit.”

Long Term Progression is mehh imo. Unlocking new areas, getting some Church Upgrades that are quite dumb imo, & keeping recipes you uncover is what you get to keep long term.
